No worries it is not urgent, hadn't played it for a few years, got it out a couple of days a go and with a HOF mini reverb the damn thing sounds great.

Re: Amp handle and middle pin

That would be great BG, not worried about colour, I'll keep the original, it is not broken through yet but close to. Not an amp I am ever going to sell, I bought it in 2008 and picked it up from a friend in LA. It was my amp on my road trip across the USA. 5 watts of Valco goodness :) I log in every...

Amp handle and middle pin

Hey Guys I have a Harmony H418 amp made by Valco in 1954 that I have had for years, Ryan refurbed it back in 2009. Anyone know where I can get a new black leather handle and the centre pin for the old style mounts? Hadn't played it for years since I got the MikeC 5R3 but got it out a few days ago, s...

Re: Show us your pedalboard

Nice! Dibs on the RV-7 :thumbup: I have one already but rate them so much it would be cool to have another on a different setting to flip between...lush Noted but I have had it for about 10 years. Every so often I'll buy another reverb pedal thinking it will be the one. Only to go back to this. I s...

Re: Amp Oscillating

Was doing it at all volumes. Pulled the jack in and out a few times. Turned it on last night to check the tubes and it had stopped oscillating. I'll try again tonight and see how it goes. I hadn't used it in a few weeks as was playing the Blackstar Studio 10. Maybe just oxidation or the bugger being...

No pickup, I like these just acoustic, my slide playing is shite on electric.

Re: Amp Oscillating

Playing notes or chords, hard to describe but like the volume oscillating. I don't have recording capabilities.

Amp Oscillating

Started this last night but it got lost in the forum spasm. My 5E3 is oscillating/sounding weird. It almost sounds like reverb or delay gone haywire. I did a search on te net and could possibly be preamp valves gone bad. Anyone here can confirm this before I pay out for new tubes?

Here's my modest little board, I have other pedals but being a home player this does all I want

Re: Harmony HV-15 1966 Bobkat

Nice, I have a 1972 H617, a real fun guitar to play, the short scale and goldfoils on mine are a blast, the pickups are hot. NIce one! How do those pick-ups sound? is the bridge fixed into the body? It is a floating bridge much like an archtop. The type W vibratos like this, all you need to do is se...

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

Yeah that is the problem, I have 4 amps already, my main one has been Mike C's 5E3 which has been my only amp played for the last 4 years, absolutely love it. My Valco and Harmony are gathering dust. Might have to sell the MPC 5 watt.
