Day before yesterday, I saw an ad on CL and went to check it out. I found an old Traynorass-Master Amp head with no head cab. It had a pretty crappy three prong cord badly wired leaving the death cap AND they had cut the end off and spliced a two prong end on it, lol. I talked the guy down to $100 and left with the amp. I found three Rogers 12AX7 preamp tubes and two Sylvania EL34 power tubes in the amp. One of the Sylvania tubes had a broken center pin.
I determined the date of manufacture to be 1968 based on pot and resistor codes. I wired in a three prong cord and removed the death cap and fired her up. She's VERY loud even with one power tube.
I ran her speaker out to a Palmer PGA04 speaker simulator. It's the only way I can crank her and get that amazing overdrive.
Anyway, that's my deal of the year... or is it?
