Re: mini rant and question

Hey, John, give this website a try. http://users.aol.com/bluemuse/ampeg.html

They have schematics from a bunch of old bombos from the 70's and a parts
list decribing what each component is=part number. You never know what it
could lead too.

My beloved old Selmer/Ampeg B100 amp crapped out on me last month. Took it
to a smaller chain music store in town that has a decent repair dept. Got
a
notice that they couldn't fix it because they couldn't match up the Ampeg
model numbers with the generic transistor numbers (?).

Anyway, I go to pick it up today, and none of the regular guys were there.
The guy that gave me the amp (after much needless searching) was a classic
corporate-music-store-manager type. As I'm leaving, he says to me "Sorry
we
couldn't fix your amp. But hey, you should check out the Fender Bassman
amps
we have on sale today".

Now, I don't know why this irks me so much, but it does. I guess it's like
saying "Sorry about your pre CBS P-Bass, but HEY, you should check out our
stock of Ibanez Gio basses". It's not the upselling that bothers me; it's
the utter cluelessness, I guess.

Which brings me to the question - anybody know what friggin input ouput
transistors go into a '70's Ampeg B100, Or can you atl least point me in
the
direction? Apparently the shop was dealing with Ampeg themselves, and
crapped out. I think there's a schematic inside the chassis, but I don't
remember if the part #s are on there, and frankly, I'd rather not take the
whole thing apart if I don't have to. TIA.
