Help please [message #445] Mon, 26 March 2001 13:14 Quack Messages: 6 Registered: June 2001 Location: Lancaster, CA Junior Member Hi Folks: I am new around here and need some help. Just picked up a cool Frankenstein head from the late sixties (I think). I do not have a matching cabinet yet, but would like to play the amp before I find one. The problem is I don't know what speaker load to use. There is only one speaker jack in the back, but it's not labeled. Seems to me there was a placard on the back panel at one time but now it's gone. So before I do something stupid and use the wrong speaker load, could you folks tell me what the OT impedance is? Much obliged. Ed Report message to a moderator

What color is your amp? The wide panels were 11 rolls of tuck and roll and the later amps and cabinets were 12. Don Report message to a moderator

Thanks guys! [message #450 is a reply to message #449] Tue, 27 March 2001 01:31 Anonymous Really appreciate the fast response. My amp is dark gray sparkle (or is it called charcoal?) Anyway. ET is quite right. This stuff is very contagious. Maybe if I skip lunch for the next few months, I'll be able to get that red head, hehehe. Ed Report message to a moderator
