Gunn 50 schematic?

Post by Anvil Amps Alan »

Anyone got a schematic of this amp?

i can take some pics off mine, but it is quite modded :D
Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

thanks for the offer, but I am wanting to remove a load of mods from one I am working on so I'm lookin' for a stock diagram.

On second thought someone may have done some sensible things to yours, so if you could that would be great.
Does your amp run EL34 valves?

its running 2x 6550 , has had a choke put in to lesson the plate voltage (done by Simcha) and one channel modded to be more blackfacish (done by Clarry)
was told it runs close to 100W

i'll try to get some pics in the next day or so

There used to be a schematic on CAB / Freedom music website (Gunn 100 IIRC, I imagine they share the same preamp?). Maybe PM Ryan or Rob. They might still have a copy somewhere.

Also, definitely take some pics IB... :)

Ah yes, that one!

Kelvin traced the circuit out about three years ago and here is the schematic. I haven't checked it myself but it should be a good guide anyway...

Thanks for that, but It's the power and output sections which are my concerns.

The exact Gunn 50 power section schematic is not there but, I'm wondering if it is similar to the Holden 50?

A lot of the old NZ amps used a 1/2HT voltage reference point for the g2(screen grids)

informative site anyway...

Clarry has noted on this site that he has the schematic...(34 audio)

I have a restoration job posted on that site (Holden Wasp 200)
I found the site 12 months ago and yes it is very useful!
The holden circuits are similar but not the same.
Clarry said he would send me a copy 2 days ago.
He doesn't have a scanner so I am waiting hopefully at my letter box.
