that I don't have time to fiddle with. I can't wait to be a true geezer, so I can spend my time tinkering with toys! To quote myself from another post, this was . . .
"successfully secured by trading a bunch of collectible toys given to me by a friend who was moving. I, having no interest in such lovelies as a "new-in-box Speed Racer Captain Terror" or "mint condition The Rock bobble head," opted to gladly swap the bundle for the Gibson Scout.
Interesting little amp--three knobs for volume, reverb, and tremelo--no eq. Stripped of tolex, robbed of the reverb unit, original CTS speaker, missing a few tubes, and some unknown mods to the inputs, including an added toggle switch. Fortunately the footswitch was present. Tube lineup is a 12AX7, two 6EU7s, two 6AQ5s, and a 6CA4. It'll proabably be on the back burner, yet it's the one I would feel most comfortable messing with."
Some quick pics. Interesting reviews on harmony-central. Haven't had time to look up transformer numbers yet to date it. Speaker code covered by Gibson sticker (foo!) Prolly a CTS--begins with 137. Grill cloth probably not original, but it could be if the tolex was brown. As mentioned, I feel I can fiddle under the hood with impunity on this one. No guilt if I bungle a little. Smells like a cheap smoky motel room, and very apparent mod goofiness. It should have two inputs, but there are now three. Original power switch has been changed, and an extra toggle has been added. Original two-pronger.
Someone please send me an aupair, so I can mess with this!
