Title: Tubes for Sunn 100s
Post by: Jim on August 18, 2001, 12:09:00 pm

I found a 100s chassis in good shape but  all the tubes are gone and there's no chart.  Could someone advise what tubes I need from left to right as you look at the rear of the amp.  Many thanks.

Thank you so much.
If it works now, this 110s was a pretty good find other than no tubes.
The unit is fairly clean with no rust.
This will be my first Sunn. I'm assuming an output of 100W at 8 ohms??
I mainly collect and play Fenders.
Got a ragged '55 Bassman, 63 blonde bassman, 67 Super Reverb, 66 Deluxe reverb, Gretch 6150, Silvertone 4184?, Airline No#, Valco Aztec.

Thanks again.

The 100S is actually about 60 watts, but it's "tube watts", so it will sound louder because of headroom.
