I'm not ready to jump yet so you may as well grab it. I really appreciate the heads up, very nice of you.

So you think it'll fit or you're willing to sort it out yourself?

Ok

I bought it.

Here is my 'Black Flag' this has brown impedence (used late 67-68) and black voltage (used on early amps like 45/100)

Here is my '68 superlead clone (both brown).

I will replace the black voltage selector on the Black Flag with the new brown one unless someone has a spare black impedence selector they want to swap 8) .

I actually prefer these to the window type as the banana plugs are much more secure (if easier to lose :roll: ) than the window ones I have on my 70s Marshalls.

Well I guess I can wait lol

I've finally got some NOS mustard caps, some iskras on the way and have had some other NOS stuff for a while. I'm still waiting for Sozo to start selling 32uf filter caps, but I think the build must progress without them. My main amp is sounding pretty good so I can put down that project for now.

We're building a new jam room in the basement, I've been sort of waiting on that to clear up some room, but now that I've got enough NOS parts I may just have to go ahead and start building. Still nothing to play it through yet though. Plan is to get an Avatar BB 2X12 with the slant front. Put two weber 20-25 watters in there and bleed off the 3/4 of the signal with a couple weber speaker motors I already have. that's still $1000 away lol. Man, this is going to be over 3 grand by the time I get it all done, and will probably never leave the house lol.
