50 watt chassis in metro store

Post by Kapo_Polenton » Thu Oct 11, 2007 9:27 pm

Gents,

I have been having problems with my Weber 6m45p recently and looking in it, its a total spaghetti mess. Everything is way too tight in there..small chassis. I want to rewire it neatly and use one of George's PTP kits. Can someone tell me what the dimensions are of the 50 watt chassis? I know my laney 50 watt seems to be inside a 100 watt chassis and i am wondering if I should go with a 100 watt chassis or is the 50 big enough? Would the weber 6m45P essentially be what they call a small head or small box Marshall? It was a bloody pain to work in there and i'd like something neat that i can easily make changes too moving forward.

Thanks..

The Weber chassis and George's 50-watt chassis will be pretty much the same size. They are cramped as hell, it takes some careful laying out to keep it neat.

Thanks for the info. Are they deeper at all? It looks as if there is more room between the tube sockets and the board... I guess I might want to consider the PTP board that is PCB board replacement size then. Also, if not that much more room then hell, I should take the money for the chassis and faceplates and drop it on a mercury output tranny!

If you want authentic plexi 50 watt tones a Marstran 139 tranny is perfect.

However, if you want hotter then the slightly tweaked MM OT is a better bet IMO
