Hi, I just bought a 112 sixty five RP in pretty good condition. It has no pre amp tubes so it's one of the later versions. 2 things: tubes are very old 'telefunken' el34. are these the originals? and whats a good brand to replace them with? the grillcloth almost literally turns into sparkling dust when i even touch it. Whats the name of the original colour of the grillcloth? Is it hard to replace it myself? (i'm semi clumsy) thanx, bart, holland | ||

You will find some instructions on installing new grill cloth in the area marked "Grill Cloth". If you are a total klutz and have no tools or patience it is best left to someone who can handle it. To do it right can easily consume several hours. The RD/RP 65/100 series never had any other tubes other than the output tubes. It may be possible that the Telefunkens are original tubes. There seem to be a lot of people who like the JJ EL34... look in the Tube topic for specific information. Steve |
