Thanks for the info in this older post. Although Topic Heading should have been 'Rattling Valves' would have been easier to find. I recently found one of the power tubes in my new mkV went all rattling once I got to push the volume up above 4. Once pushed the valve stayed busted. It is too...

Ha! Nice work. I picked up my cab in 1994 while working in country NSW (not quite as far as the outback). I remember seeing it in our equivalent of a pawn shop and paying only $70. It has the metal corners that match my 22. I can only figure that a working band may have lost it after playing a...

Wow thanks for link to the manual. Bought back some memories. Looks like I'll run the extension cab via the 4 ohm. Makes sense mesa would have set it up that way. Thanks for your help. Last thing I wanted was to stress the lil ol boogie. Last note! Just saw a Thiele cab and open cab go on...

All good conversation on this forum! My question now is which is better: - 16 into 8; - 16 into 4; or - 4 into 4? Is there a rule about response vs. load? or does either option work the same. Rethinking my earlier assumption, it is probably the 4 ohm option that would be more responsive, I...

Thanks for the responses and for suggesting I check the manual. Funny thing is I'm on the other side of the planet and I still got the echo. The Caliber Studio 22 I own only has one 4ohm and one 8 ohm out. That's why I was asking if it would be a mismatch. I don't have the manual for the 22 amp...

Is it ok to run both the 8 ohms and 4 ohms outputs into separate 8 ohms speakers at the same time? Is this a match? This is for my 22 combo with standard 50w black shadow plugged in the 8 ohm out, and a 90w black shadow open back box in the 4 ohm out. I'm sure it is, but I just don't want to...

Just an update and to apologize. It's great to hear Richards amp is running fine. I'd stated in earlier post that I would open the 22 and take some pictures but that's not going to happen. The 22 is working and I don't have the time to play around with opening it up. Far too busy playing. So...

Haven't had a chance to open it up or do anything this week. Likely to get a crack at it this weekend. Of interest, the frequency range that could be picked up by a 1/4 inch piece of wire is around 50 to 60Ghz (satellite telecommunications type frequency), I don't think that could affect the...

The diversity of musicians is as limitless as is the progress of technology. I guess there are those of us who's attachment to our sound and how we go about getting it is part of the inspiration and attraction of making music. But that must include those who like to, or are required to, modify...

Ok I'm rather new to this forum too, I'd mostly been looking up MkV and IIC posts. Didn't realize how much great info is posted on the 22s. Only a few pages in on the Vintage amp section and I have learned a truck load. Some really useful detail dating back to 2008 which solved my problem...

Likewise, I'm resigned to resoldering all the joints also. Had noticed something I thought was strange last time I had the guts out of the cab. On the solder joints where the reverb circuit joined the circuit board and terminals I noticed short lengths of wire left sticking up. These are a bit...

Yes you are right, it won't be your pots. Just got mine back pots are no longer dirty but the problem is still there. It sounds delicious for about 15 minutes then it fades to a super quiet signal. The sound is still controllable just no volume. I've replaced the power valves, still the same. It...

Hi, Not sure if this will help, but I have my .22 '87 in for what I was expecting to be cap replacement. The sound would be great for around 15 minutes, then start to pop and fade before basically having no sound at all. I've since been advised that there was nothing wrong with either the caps...

Sorry bout that, it was only a matter of time before I bought a new amp and I couldn't help myself when I saw it was still available. Lucky you for having a great shop like Trumps close by. I actually dropped off my 22 on the same day I picked up the MkV for Terry to look at. It had been...

Looks real good. It might even cost less if I get one shipped from the US. Will talk with my friend and see what he thinks. Not sure if my larger base idea is practical. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the comments, I know I was lucky with this find. I'm really surprised it was still available after these years. The amp will get used but I have plans for protecting it's wellbeing. I am thinking about a customising an oversize case and putting the wheels out as far as possible...

Here is a link with a few photos. Thanks for asking for photos, I probably wouldn't have setup or learned about file sharing otherwise. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=5F0EFE041275CE10!104&authkey=!AKJA7chkLu3bj3c&ithint=folder%2cjpg Has anyone had any issues using the caster wheels? I...

Hi, I still need to work out how to post the photos up here, I cant see any file or image attachment tools on this page. I've read the forum guide and guess I need to learn about using a server you can all access. Will see what I can do to get some photos up so you can see the timber. So Bud...

Argh, how did I double post that mass of words, Sorry guys, on my learner licence.

I did eventually get some sleep. After dropping the kids off at school I headed in to Sydney, collected a few stacks from the bank and popped over the bridge to North Sydney and let the Acquisition Syndrome take control. Barry, Not sure about the amp at Pro-Audio maybe there is more than one...
