The Steel Guitar Forum

By the way, the guy that made Lloyd's cabinets did a fantastic job. The workmanship is marvelous. I forget his name but he lives somewhere in Kentucky.

I'm inclined to agree with Donny Hinson. I have always thought that, since the Twin came with two 8 ohm speakers (4 ohms) and an external speaker jack that the transformer was designed to operate into 2 ohms, if need be, since most people would use the same load for the external as the internal. It ...

Jack, I can't thank you enough! I just hope to return the favor sometimes.

Does anyone know where I can get a schematic for a MosValve 500? There ar a lot of Mosvalves around but I can't seem to lay hands on a schematic. Any Information will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Buddy wouldn't know how to get a bad tone out of anything!

James Lansing was born in Illinois and his last name was Martini. He moved to California and changed his name to Lansing. He had two brothers who moved to CA and changed their name to Martin. JBL started a very small speaker factory and his brothers worked there. They made 6" and 8" speake...

The first time I heard Earl he was using a Gibson Byrdland, playing with John Floyd's old buddy, Robbie Robinson. This has been a lot of years ago and he was great then and has done nothing but improve since. His character hasn't improved, though, because you can't get any nicer than Earl always has...

I have a program on my computer called "GOBACK". I think some of the latest Microsoft operating systems haver a similar feature but I'm still living in the dark ages with W/98. The main reason is that if I update, I'll have to get new drivers for my sound card, printer, etc. Any way, with ...

I have an older version of JAMMER and never did get an upgrade although I did purchase some additional band styles that they came out with after I got into MIDI. My latest version of BIAB is version 7. I have an old computer which I kept years ago when I upgraded, which has Windows 3.1 on it. I use ...

Steve, I use BIAB in some of my MIDI stuff along with JAMMER, another music generator. When I get the BIAB and/or JAMMER parts like I want I convert them to MIDI files, put 'em in Cakewalk and cut and paste the parts I want to save and edit them with Cakewalk. I have some pretty good sounding tracks...

What model is the spring unit? The numbers should be on the top of the can.

I've built several of the Standel modules, the BLUE, the GREEN and the YELLOW. I have not built the RED(tremolo) module because I have not been able to find the low voltage LDR. But since tremolo is rarely used with steel, it's never been a big problem.

One of the best sounds I ever heard from an amp was J.D. Manness playing a push pull through a Twin with a 15" D130.

Thanks Smiley!
Thanks Jerry!
Smiley, I have changed my email address to
woody.33@netzero.com . So far it's the best ISP I've ever had, not to mention the 10 bucks or so less per month than aol.
Ed, how in the world are you doing. I'm going down to Macon in a few weeks and would sure like to see you.

Brendan, I recone speakers and if you need it reconed as a 130 I will be happy to do it for you at no charge on my end if you will make a $100.00 donation to the FORUM. I know that my name has popped up on the FORUM more than once and I think it's about time I gave a little something back. Woody Woo...

There is a thin piece of foam rubber over the breather hole inside the speaker on the magnet. This foam rubber deteriorates and disintegrates over the years. If someone hasn't already done it, you might want to remove the basket from the magnet and clean out this bad foam. Make sure that it hasn't g...

Doing just great, John! So good to hear from you! Incidentally, the Gretsch amps were made after Baldwin purchased Sho-Bud. (Baldwin also bought out Gretsch) I forget the name of the company that made the amps for Baldwin, they are no longer in business. I know a guy who purchased one about a year a...

Hi, Brad; Received your letter yesterday. To the best of my knowledge, The early Sho-Bud single channel and I KNOW the Christmas Tree had a single FET transistor in the first stage driving the tone control circuit, then going to the volume control which had a capacitor with a switch jumping over fro...

Call me at 615.851.7058 and I can give you his phone number. Meanwhile I'll try to obtain his permission to give his number out. Woody Woodell<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Woody Woodell on 28 August 2003 at 07:18 AM.]</p></FONT>

I just did a little research. The replacement parts specified for an M30 are the exact ones specified for the D130 and the D130F. James B. Lansing, (Born James Martini, why he changed his name to Lansing I don't know) while he was the greatest speaker maker alive, was not a shrewd business man. He c...

I recone a lot of JBLs and when any one sends or brings in an M30 I use the same parts to recone an M30 as I use in a D130F. I do not know why JBL ever made the M30 unless it might have been after they phased out the D130F. The M31 uses the same parts as the K130; that is, the cone has a cloth edge ...

Thanks, Guys. I've been flat on my back all this week with the worst virus I've ever had, so I couldn't get to the computer. I haven't worked all week. The doctor gave me something yesterday that he promised would cure me or kill me. Right now the verdict is still up in the air. Bob, I should (hope)...

It's funny that this subject should come up. I generally agree with most of the comments made on this subject. An interesting thing happened to me over the past weekend. Some friends were visiting from Macon, GA and we happened to be in the Opryland Hotel area about 11:30 PM and noticed that Stonewa...

...And Johnny Paycheck in the late '70s.

Jim Murphy was also the SAX player on "Hey Bartender" by Johnny Lee. He DOES get by, doesn't he?
