Are they like this: Digikey - RPC5504-ND? I saw another post that pointed this part out as a replacement for a similar issue with a Studio 22. Just my experience but a lot of these plastic parts were more overkill than absolutely necessary.

I hope Monsta-Tone doesn't mind me posting his illustration of the mod but here is the one I saved & used to convert my DC-5 to serial. I hope this helps.

Edit: Mile High Effects said what I meant but explained it so much better. Ignore me & read that post. :p

I always assumed the idea was to run the variac down to what the older amps/transformers were used to seeing. Used to be 110v or less. Now it's 115v & sometimes a tad more. The studio was probably wired up to more modern spec. even back then.

Just the stuff in my signature except for a Pignose Hog 30

On the Mesa reverb point; I have an old DC-5 and honestly the reverb is my only complaaint. It's ok, kind of "meh". My Oceans 11 made up for in spades though. Less headache than opening the old girl up again for sure.

Any good news? I sure hope you got that DC-5 back.

Congradulations!! What a great deal! The DC-5B head was my first Boogie. Never looked back! It's been super reliable for the last 20+ yrs. You'll enjoy it. Does that combo have a C90? For my ears, these amps really shine with those speakers.

Wow... thankfully I didn't play very long or loud through that cab. Honestly, I may just try to sell the whole thing as is. Truth be told I don't really need another project, especially one that needs some true tlc I don't honestly have the time for. Interested in a 60's Bandmaster with cab...

Again, thanks for all the informed advice. That's just what I needed. Really enjoying the matching cab. It thumps with my Mesa! LOL! Can't believe it's still going strong. I could have sworn the internal # on the tube layout indicated 64 but I could be wrong obviously. Woudln't be the first...

Thanks for all the advice! I finally got it out of storage & thought I'd share some pix.

A while back an old family friend passed away. Not having any kids, his wife gave me his music equipment. I've sold some, kept some but still have a 1964 matching Bandmaster head & cab. Cab still works perfect but the head is another story. No tubes, the perfboard is melted & warrped. Should I...

Hmm.. my cartel logo just now displays img code. Tried it with all the options but no graphic. Thanks for your time!

There's a local sale for a 50 Cal+. The tolex is in rough shape but has been recapped & retubed. No issues listed with it. What are 50cal's going for these days.

Could anyone help as to why my DC Cartel image isn't showing in my signature? I get " https://i.postimg.cc/QFLsnbQP/DC-Cartel-member-0062.jpg " or any similar img code instead of the Cartel graphic. Any thanks would be welcome.

Give them a call. You'd be surprised what they have in inventory that just isn't listed on the site. My amp needed a handle that wasn't on the site. After a friendly cust service call I received an identical handle that looked just like the original one from 1990.

Best of both worlds. Closed or open. These cabs sould be released.

I use mine EQ auto on lead & off on clean. The clean sounds more "fendery" to my ears.

Same as when I first got 'em. My 83 Ibanez Artist & DC-5.
