The Pignose schematic shows you how to build the power supply and do you still have the boards from your amp?

Full wave bridge power supply.

I've built the Dumble modded Princeton using:

1MA volume
500KL treble
250KA middle
1MA bass
1MA master volume


Very smooth open amp.

In other amps I have used from 25KL to 100KL.

Octals have a deeper warm tone and people build higher wattage amps such as 100w or 150w amps for PSG, guitar or bass as well.

Instead of Mouser try Antigue Electronic Supply (AES) or Mojotone, many others.

Greg, nice build.

Do you like the raw control and master volume?

I don't like the raw control or this type of master volume.

But I do like the tone pot on the reverb.

The standby switch could be bad/failing. The rectifier tube is bad.

To stop the pop sound a 100k or greater resistor across the switch.

The amp I saw was a RI Deluxe Reverb head and it was a great sounding amp. Large price tag too just because it had Alessandro name tag.

That 47k resistor is a limiter resistor so the 500kA pot doesn't go lower then 47k ccw.

I would just go with an out board reverb or pedal reverb.

If you have a combo you can make a tube reverb that is screwed to the bottom of the chassis and add a tank but not worth it in my opinion. ...
