    Default thanks for the pics

    Some of the components look the same as the Peavey and the tube and transformer placement is the same as the Peavey. The Peavey also has a cage around the tubes maybe the same manufacture in China. Do the transformers say who made them?
    I looked at my old e-mails (2006) and the old VJ combo did have a Weber speaker according to Ted Weber a ceramic sig 8 smooth cone was in the amp.

    I Forgot to add that I posted some pictures of the Peavey over at Sewatt web site in the Valve Jr section.

    They both say NRE on top of what looks like Chinese characters.

    The larger one says part no. ID:E10289 (R10)

    Just an update on the speaker swap in the Peavey. I got the Jensen Mod8 20w at 8 ohm. I noticed a lot of the buzzy fuzz was gone immediately. If I back the gain down to about 10 o'clock and use a distortion pedal it really rips. I still haven't cranked it too loud, but the sound is improved. Now changing some of the circuit like Jim P. mentioned may really make this a great little amp. I was impressed that while playing power chord type rythm and than switching to a lead fill in between chords it really sings with clarity.
