1987

[Rock city]

Ok.
This should be posted few months ago, but I had a lot other things on mind beside posting work and pics.
Anyways, the story begins like many others: my friend bought cheap an old Kelly DP 100 chassis with OT, tube sockets and few resistors. SInce he didn't know what should he do, I got an idea to make 1987.
Yes, OT is for 100 but it would work. Not opposite. But it is Partridge from the end of 60's / beginning of 70's and it would be a waste not to use it.
Sorry for the pics. I was too busy and excited to take pics all the time so there is a bit mess but you'll figure it out. I was also always dirty-handed so...
So, I bought alu chassis here from a local steel workshop since they had CNC and were willing to make me one.
All wires I got from old military warehouse since I trust old military stuff more than new production.
PT is also from a local guy.
Choke is from old Marshall, dead and then rewired.
Other parts are from Germany, I forgot the name of the supplier.
Mostly scratch built.
Cab is from old barn made to look like old furniture.

More pics.
My father made me a tool for putting rivets to the plate.
I almost lost my finger trying to drill the chassis. It all turned out a bit bumpy, nothing not to be settled with sand paper and soft hammer.

I have my trusted 2203 JMP from 1980. which I don't play since I finished this one and I put in in Classifieds recently.
2203 is great but I don't need two loud and great amps.
My regards to the pity pack jumped on me not before one did, just because I didn't want to publish some photos of selling item but called all interested to PM me.

I bought some blank plexi, cut and drill and draw front and back plate and went to print shop to get job done.
After I put everything together I realized I switch places for "middle" and "bass" and at first I didn't care.
Then I saw I must wire it differently so I made new front plate.
Which I didn't take pic of. Yet. But it looks all right now.

PS: no mods, no varieties. Just straight split cathode 1968/1969 scheme with two bias resistors.

I changed standard heating wiring since I put Russian 6N2P-EV preamp tubes.
But can not upload the pic, sorry.
I borrowed old Sylvania ecc83 when finished the amp and they sounded great. But could not find them here in Serbia so I tried different tubes and decided VOS Russian military sounded the best.

This was my first build. I am just an electrician, a little knowledge in electronics. A friend helped me in a great deal using multimeter and assisting me in soldering.
Everything else I did using Google.
