I haven't got into the amp that much yet. Someone recapped the power supply and there are about 10 caps in there and it is a rats nest. I am going to cut them out and get the can cap and put it in. Here is a link to the schematic with the 6L6s, http://www.unofficialampeg.com/schematics.html
Also I am learning how to troubleshoot amps and am not that great at it yet although I have fixed a few.
There is 59 volts DC on the filiments of the preamp tubes, that is how screwed up it is after whoever worked on it.
Thanx for the response.
I am beginning to think whoever worked on this amp was working from that schematic? Where they got an old sticker showing a tube complement with 6L6s in it that reads Ampeg Linden N.J. is a mystery? As I stated I never owned an older ampeg but have seen lots of em and I never saw any with 6L6s in them?
Took a look inside again, it is a full wave rectifier, 4 diodes. I don't have much time during the week to do anything. I see they have the can cap at Antique electric supply. Am waiting for a certain electronics engineer to get back to work on Monday and we will both take a look at the schematic and go from there.
