Here's a nice 2204 starter kit if anyone is interested...
It even comes with a few extra parts.
View attachment 111708
Seller states has a known volume drop when hot. modded tube fx loop
What are the potential causes of that, addons welcome:
Heater intermittent voltage drop - PT htr winding
Doubt the extra 12ax7 heater current as these had the same drakes for the 2205 which had 5 preamp tubes.
shorting OT if run hot into an attenuator.
output Tube failing if never replaced and run at mid to lower bias weak output when hot.
These things can be a roll of the dice but you could also be lucky, who knows what other mods were made or if done improperly.
I think it would be cool to get one of these combo chassis and put a mirror faceplate on it in a head cab. So it reads backwards but right side up.
