Kasino Concert ss# 4906
trying to figure out why the foot switch has been disconnected and there is no reverb tank if that is what you call it
i have a old Peavey Tank and,
wondering if i can mount it in side the box and plug it in to the rca jacks
next up it death CAP ????
i took off the old 2 prong cord but did not ground the 3rd leg yet my consern is so called death cap witch im awair of a shocking experience ....
im not a electrichion by any means but my dad and i did repair TV built Heath Kits ..
so i do have some knolage but dont remember all the components
i took it all apart cleaned all the pots pluged in a 4x12 cab with my guitar and this thing sound awesome

Hello and welcome.

No one is asleep here, it's just that at the moment I am the only moderator on this site and new members have to make 5 post that I must approve before post that they make just go right up to the board.

This stops spammers in the tracks!

Your amp is looking for a 8 ohm load to produce its full 50 watts or clean power, a higher load will cut the output in half and a 4 ohm load will potentially over heat the amp and cause a shut down if played loud enough.

If I recall right the cap ( death cap ) you need to cut out is off of the on/ off switch.
Once you do that then you simply bolt down to the chassis somewhere the green ground wire from a new power cable.

The reverb tank in these amps was a regular 14" long one.
I hung off of two aluminum tubes the spand the front and rear of the amp.
I Peavey tank even though it may be from a SS amp will not work right.

Later this evening I will look up what reverb tank you need.

The best way to date a amps birthday is by the numbers on the power transformer, or by looking at the CTS brand pots used in these amps they will have a 4 digit date code that starts with 137-_ _ _ _, for example 4569 would mean that the amp was made on the 45th week of 1969.

I made a mistake before, your amp is a 100 watt rms amp and wants a 4 ohm load to do that.

I sent you a email with a photo of what the reverb tank and mounting brackets look like.
