Re: Space Dual with Amplifone Question

Hey Joe,

No I mean the wooden support brackets for the HV and deflection boards. Think starwars and you'll know what i'm talking about. They is one on either side to hold the pcb.

Crystal Castles interestingly has them also although they are not used.

  Well, not exactly a Gravitar, but few years ago, I picked up 3 Black Widows and 2 of them had (what appeared to be) factory installed Amp's. Unfortunately, they were in Florida and termite infested, so I had to part them out on the spot, but they do (did) exist.

  When you mention the wooden support brackets, I take it you're talking about the 2 metal pieces that mount on the vertical ends of the tube to mount it to the wood frame in the cabinet? If so, yes, both of those tubes had that. IIRC, the wood frame in the cabinet itself appeared that a WG6101 would fit right in. I still do have one of tubes (the other had a half dollar size spot killer burn), so if you're just wanting a pic of the tube with the support brackets, I can get you that.

    Hey Hans,

    I'm guessing they put the 'Amplifone' wooden support brackets in this
    cabinet then?

    Are you able to take any pics of it? It sounds really interesting. I'm sure
    other people would love to see pics too!

    If any of you have pics of a Gravitar with a factory installed Amp i'd love
    to see that also!!!!
