If there is someone who can do it, I'd make my amp available for non invasive mapping. I think it would be a cool project to be involved with. :thumbup:

I can certainly do that. Did the same with my Poweray. Let's see what is on the web first though.

Yes browsed that site a while ago for a 6/20 diagram. Could not find it there and it does not mention the 4/12.

4-12s are rare. I've only ever seen 2. Consider they were made in 1964, just as full stacks were taking over the world. Poor little fellas never stood a chance.

Just a thought - the current Jansen company still provides schematics for their old gear, when they exist. They charge a fee ($10 maybe?) but will email you a scanned copy. If it's something you're really after, I'd definitely check with them. Not that the 60's circuits are difficult to reverse-engineer, but it's not always as easy as you'd think to identify what's original and what's been modified over the subsequent 50+ years!

That 4/12 looks the biz. What’s the tube assemblage again Bruce?

Spoke to Clarry and he confirms they are rare and hasn't got any diagram. The good thing is he has repaired a couple and says the circuit is very simple.
Will call Simon tomorrow and if no luck I am offering to do the exploratory surgery... Perhaps a dedicated thread is warranted rather than annoying EB?

Just say no, if Simon offers you a 1 megawatt PA with a 789 i/o mixer desk. Stick to your guns.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
