RSC Guitar Amplifier.
I am trying to rejuvenate an old RSC guitar amplifier that has been lying dormant in the loft for several years. Am I correct in that RSC were Radio Spares of Croydon? I seem to remember seing these amplifiers for sale in the 50's or 60's. Budget model much cheaper than anyone else at the time.
However, I am in dire need of a circuit, mainly to make sure it has the correct valves in the correct bases. I have switched it on for a brief period and there is the lack of reidual hum from the speaker and thus no output. All the valves have anode current, but apart from the rectifier which is correct, the others valves may not be in correct bases. (A good case for marking the chassis with valve numbers.) I will upload photos later.
I bought this unworking with some other radios so it has never worked yet in my posession I hasten to add.
Mike.
