Gibson GA-77RV
This is a Gibson GA-77RV Vanguard. It is only the head with no cabinet, speaker, or tank. A friend of mines grandpa found this gem at the dump. He was an electrical engineer and so he fixed it up. I believe he only replaced the power supply caps. When I received it I struggled to get it to work, I replaced all the electrolytic caps and a few of the old resisters. I built a board for the caps, which I could have done much cleaner but it works and sounds great!
I have heard rumors that this is the same model amp that the AC30 was copied from. It is very similar in my limited experience.
I would love to find a reverb tank for this and build a nice cabinet.
The layout I made for fun, it includes the standby switch circuit which I removed.
