it is fun to work in a neat uncluttered amp, thank you
You are a busy fella.

That RSC speaker is so much more desirable than a crappy Marsland.

I am envious. A delightful Canuck relic.

So was '65 before Pete started sourcing Mullard Mustards?
Sweet amp, btw. I've got a later BassMate with the EL84's, an early 70's GuitarMate, and a few other Traynors.
Nice old Jensen-licenced RSC.

there are a couple of Traynor historians in our group: perhaps we will learn about this event through them.

It could be as simple as they sourced them because of availablility and/or price. Mallory and Good-All red mylars were ubiquitous at that time.

Hey Al!! Smart putting the speaker with a jack. Would be awesome to try it through different cabs.
I have a few of these. I prefered the 15” closed back. The el84 were more Marshally.
I can t help with any questions, but man I want a t-shirt made from that logo on the speaker. I have had old Traynors over the years but I guess none with that speaker.

Played it for 2 1/2 hours straight last night - no problems. It has such a unique sound (chimes) to it and the break up on the Strat bridge pick up is glorious.

Good job Al - Thanks
