I corrected that above, yes it was just a typo. Voltages are correct for the given transistors.

Do you have those reversed or is it a typo?  T4 should be the TIP29.

That's not the right schematic for the G.  It's actually for a 1000S (printed on sheet).
100G schematic attached.  Shows 600 ohm impedance for the tank so 4EB2C1B tank should work.

B  35.5v
C  35.1v

T4 TIP29

Today I hooked up the borrowed Boss distortion pedal between a guitar and the RETURN jack on the amp and the distorted sound of the guitar was present. Of course all of the amps front panel controls were inoperative. I also tried plugging it into the front guitar input  jack again with the same results as reported in my first message. Does this indicate the problem is in the preamp section?

Hello! I bought an amp chassis on ebay and bit off more than I can chew.

It is a Sound City SC100R, without speakers and reverb tank.
I would like to turn it into a head. The amp is very appealing because all components are laid bare and there are no ICs.

Attached is the schematic and some other blurb about the amp.
Also traded as Londoner L100 and Sound City SC100R
https://www.vermona.com/support/vermona-heritage/ search for 100G

Which Reverb tank works with this amp?
How do I go about checking the device over without getting killed in the process?
Cheers,
Bernd.

Hi Guys! Have I got your amp through ebay? Anyway. I have one and I struggle to justify the potential costs of repair. Did you get it fixed? Got professional help? I want to turn this amp into a head. Need to understand the slave output and external speaker wiring. The reverb tank is also absent. Do you know the specs for the reverb?
Here re some photos.

Can you post E,B,C voltages for TR4 and TR6 ?
