That's probably the one I'll be after if I can somehow get hold of Chris Merrem. I've PM'd him over at vintageamps.com but haven't had any response from him. Someone suggested calling his cell phone but I would imagine that that # wouldn't be easy to come by. I try another PM.

Is the number on his AOL hompage still good?

I've tried that # but it's disconnected. Hopefully this week, I hear back from him. If not, I'll try another PM. I don't want to bombard him before he gets a chance to check his messages.

He'll be back the weekend.

I called him this AM and spoke with him briefly. We had a real bad connection and will talk after lunch today. Thanks guys for all your help. I'm thinking I'm going for the 1.5" but will know for sure after speaking with Chris.

I plan on ordering a power tranny and a 1.5" 100 watt power tranny for 6550 tubes. I'll be calling Chris tommorrow.

This will be for a Marshall master volume 100 watt clone.

Anyone know what payment methods Chris takes? This will let me know what to expect when I call him.

Thanks

My trannys are $200 a piece. He's shipping at the end of this week. Though, I think he already had them made up. I have heard that if he has to make them, then it would be a couple of months.
