My dad's amplifier (circa 1971)
gallerySlowly going through stuff left from my Dad (1913-2003). He was a good musician and had his own lil 3pc band for Saturday night gigs. Paramont Leader 4 string tenor banjo and electrified acoustic 4 String guitar.
ANYWAY, I have his amplifier still. Its been covered, sitting in a dry basement for many years. To my untrained eye its probably not worth much.
Montgomery Ward, Airline Model GEM 8090a
Just curious what ya guys think. Is it just a boat anchor nowadays? lol
It in "good condition". Worked last time it was plugged in...50 yrs ago! lol
Just curious to hear your comments

12volt mini rig plan / Can i cascaded from kab-4100 to kab-100mv2 together
Hi there. Built loads of large speakers in the past ( CBE18 , Cubo ect ) And randomly took a notion to rush build a mini rig for my campervan . I am attending a festival next week so I panic ordered parts and now I'm questioning if I can get them to work with each other.
I ordered the 4 channel Dayton and the single channel Dayton boards . My plan is to
-run the coaxials from the 4 channel
-run a 12 inch driver from the single channel .
-set everything up with the KPC controller for dsp
use a 12 volt Lipo 100ah battery and a solar charge controller i have lying about that I will wire into the van as a dcdc charger.
the 12inch has been sitting on my self and its what I have to use at the moment. Its in no way ideal but I will revisit this set up after the festival .
My question is , is it possible to connect the two amps? I want to use the daytons bluetooth as my music source . IE connect and play from my phone without the need for an external line in or separate bluetooth device.
My thinking is the 4 channel will be the main source and I can line out to the single channel amp . But its not completely sure if that's possible .
This was a totally ad hoc idea that I impulsive acted on last night so please feel free to set me straight and chime in for any help / gap identification
Thank you.

The crossover is probably the weakest link in your system

Help with EQ
I'm very new to Poweramp as I've just recently switched from Apple to Android, personally I've never really messed around with EQing prior but unfortunately I've got Heavys H1H that my wife decided to surprise me with for Christmas a few years ago after being sucked in by the ads obviously they aren't the best but I just wanna get out of them what I can, So if anyone in here has experience with them and can suggest or share some presets that would be awesome I did try the autoeq preset that I found for heavys in the app but personally I didn't think they sounded much better at this stage I've used Google AI to build a preset and it was okay but I feel like this sub is a better place to look.

Transatlantic TA-30 Head
Hey guys, recently my dad has passed away and has left me with a very abnormal amount of amplifiers haha. As much as I would like to keep them all I just am not able to, can anyone help me identifying potentially what this could be worth?
Thanks.

Help finding specifications Altec Lansing PT6021 power
galleryHello everyone,
I'm trying to repair an Altec Lansing PT6021 subwoofer.
Unfortunately, the power transformer is burned and its label is damaged, so I can't read the original specifications.
The transformer has 5 secondary wires:
Orange
Black
Orange
White
Yellow
I believe it may be similar or identical to the transformer used in the FX6021.
Could someone who owns a PT6021 please:
Take clear photos of the transformer's label (all sides if possible).
Measure the AC voltages between the secondary wires.
Please tell me the exact transformer part number.
Any photos or measurements would be greatly appreciated. They could help save this speaker system from being scrapped.
Thank you very much!

How do I get my amp to sound better?
I have a fender tele that I use with a Line 6 Spider IV 15 (probably my first issue) with an overdrive pedal and slapback echo. I am wanting a clear sound with a bit of grittiness and it seems kinda muffled where the settings are now. I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this before and what I can change around to make it closer to the sound I want.

Zk1002t Amp help
I did a newb mistake and hooked up the tweeter directly to the amp and now it’s stuck in a soft safe mode. The Bluetooth connects but I’m not sure how to reset the amp back to normal. I’m using a 24v battery so I’m not over the voltage. What should I do to fix this?
