Rare & Wonderful Late-30's Recording King Amp.....with Tone to Die For !!!

This amp was hand-delivered to me from California, stone dead and in dire need of major surgery. It's a very early and rare model.....the first of its kind that I have ever personally seen. After a blinding flash from the Current Limiter, it became evident that previously-done circuit work was both inadequate and inept. Never fear, you will witness every step in the reincarnation of this fine old amp. As a bonus, in the audio test it became evident that this is one of the best sounding vintage amps I have ever heard. See if you agree.
In addition, we will have visits from Jack and KC, a follow-up on the Twin Reverb (with last-minute Tremolo failure) from a previous video, and finally we will re-do the interior of the newly acquired 1932/34 Ford truck.

Incredible video, Thank You Uncle Doug ! I recently purchased a vintage Recording King amplifier. It's functioning, and has the most incredible tone.....just a few small problems to address ! It seemed that no one knew a thing about them.....so good to find you out here !!!!!!!

[@UncleDoug]

I wasn't aware of them myself, Dave, until this one came along and blew my socks off :)

[@MrRockinguitar]

@@UncleDoug ..... I was quite unaware of them myself, 50+ years of loving all things guitar related, and I had never come across one. I was blown away when I was entrusted with the one I now have (model unknown). When powered up it has a well pronounced hum, which becomes incredibly loud when I insert the guitar cable into either of the two instrument input's. If I insert the cable into the mic input, the hum calms down after a bit, and voila ! The most beautiful tone I've ever heard from any amp.....sadly, along with an intermittent hum :( Sure wish you were here in Northern CA. my friend. I LOVE your video's, thank you for sharing you wisdom and great sense of humor !!!!!

[@UncleDoug]

@@MrRockinguitar I'm sorry to hear of the issues with your RK, Dave. If the hum responds to the VC its source is before the VC in the circuit. If the hum is 120 Hz its source is within the power supply.....probably filter caps.

Hey Doug, just wanted to say thanks so much for making these videos. I'm 41 years old and have been playing guitar for about 30 of those years. Most of that time I was more interested/obsessed with music theory and establishing technique. About a year a ago I started my rapid decent into the rabbit hole of electronics. I always have played tube amps, but really wanted to understand how they worked in order to be able to manipulate them more efficiently. Your videos have been a crucial part in my quest for knowledge. Concepts that I had read about several times, things that I was having a hard time grasping are frequently explained through eloquent, and witty analogies that I can understand!! Amazing!! I really appreciate your contribution, and so do my fur buddies. Jack ( I've got a Jack too, 16 yr old Aussie.. my pal ), Archer( 6 ) , and Remo ( 3-ish rescue pup).

[@livewire6925]

Great Job. From one tube head to another. Learned this stuff over 50 years ago. Surprising how much i recall and Your technique is spot on. Used the "light bulb trick" in machine control panels in the 60's to get around high resistance shorts on water soaked limit switches because you couldn't shut the machine down long enough to fix it right. It was repaired on Sunday shutdown.You could open a panel on Friday and there would be 8 to 10 bulbs flashing. Got my first Variac in 1968 as filtered supply for my guitar amp. (Ampeg Gemini II) I heard Eddie Van Halen did that. Never thought of turning down the voltage. I was not the only Musician using them in the Detroit area. Our singer used one on his PA Amp and I had seen a number of Guitar Players using them throughout the Seventies.Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Capacitors have a charge time. The higher the cap value, the longer it takes to charge, which for Uncle Doug's purposes serves to slow down the tremolo time. So the cap is constantly discharging and recharging, which is the tremolo speed 😉

[@UncleDoug]

Well said, Eric. Thanks.

[@j-man72b72]

That's only part true, a small resistance allows the cap to charge faster than a large resistance, hence the RC time constant.

What an insanely good sounding amp! Your repairs on the ancient oddball stuff are always my favorites, and most or them sound good, but this one is exceptional. I've been watching your videos for about 10 years now, and I've learned more than I can name in a KZbin comment. I'm very appreciative of all the knowledge and wisdom you have shared over the years, not to mention all the tricks and tips that aren't in any of the books. All of your posts have proven to be useful, informative and entertaining, and now I'd like to possibly reciprocate by putting you on to a little idea I came up with, that I think is gonna work pretty well. You've heard of Crate amps? Well I found an old solid wood Chester drawers that was pretty beat, but the drawers were solid. They had finger joints, thin solid wood bottoms, and nice metal handles. When you say "hello" into them they sound great! Just like an acoustic guitar or Leslie cabinet. The bottom of the drawer makes a fine resonant ballfle and the finger joints are good and sturdy. The faces of the drawers themselves are 3/4" thick, so they become the bottom, and the handles can be moved to the other end, which is now the top of the box. An 8 in. Jensen sounds phenomenal in such a cabinet. Plans are to duplicate the 5F1 champ circuit you built with the negative feedback switch for an unusual looking and great sounding little combo. I even have a marketing slogan: "You're gonna love what you find in our drawers" If you run across any old desks or dressers you can salvage the drawers from, you might give this a try. They sound great. (Particle board is not recommended. It has to be real wood.) Thanks again for everything, my friend. Much love, honor, and respect to you and all your critters. M

[@UncleDoug]

Wow....thanks for all the wonderful comments, JP. We love your slogan and wish you the very best with your speaker cabinet design. I'll keep a lookout for somebody with droopy drawers ;)

@@UncleDoug yeah thanks, Doug. I've got lots of ideas for circuits, mostly variatoins on Fender Marshall, Vox, and all those little oddballs we both love so much, but my woodworking skills are somewhat less than stellar.
