Awesome. Thanks man. For the life of me I could not find a site like this. I don't know if the measurements will work(Gotta see if the guy will let me dismantle the speaker first) but now I know there is hope for an affordable DIY recone. Know of any how to guides?

Amplifier Discussion / Fixing up a vintage Gibson

Today a friend brought over a Gibson amp for me to look at. The speaker is obviously blown because it makes this rattling noise. I removed the speakers and when I pushing it in, it made that scraping noise. The amp draws 30 watts from the wall and it is not very loud, but it sounds like no other small amp I've heard. I know I can handle rewiring it and replacing the pots and all that, but the speaker needs a good recone. Is there a site that will sell me the parts needed, not in kit from or "service" form. Thanks

Wow thanks for the great reply. It might be the best reply I have ever gotten. I'm defiantly not going to build that amp now. The link to that large schematic for a power amp looked complicated, but not impossible. I don't know if I can afford to make that one yet, but I guess I'll book mark that and search for other power amps for now. What kind of transformer would be good for that particular amp. And is this a popular build? Just asking in case I need help with it. Thanks again for the great reply.

Hey, What do you guys think of the Jon Tirone's amp? http://pluto.spaceports.com/~fishbake/amp/ca100.htm

Do you think I could use this transformer?  http://www.mouser.com/search/productdetail.aspx?R=166K35virtualkey54600000virtualkey546-166K35

If you guys know of another 100watt or so power amp that I can make for cheap that would be cool too. I plan to use a Sans Amp with it.

thanks for the help
