Hey, guys, you with the 2G schematics, how about getting them added to the schematics page?

Editing these things hurts my eyes. Many of the schematics I've scanned end up being posted at Ampix.org thanks to tboy.

You'll have to register and things could be a little easier to find, but they are there.

Has anyone come to any other conclusion on what this amp is? Legit? or still thinking it's a Frankenstein?

The head has allready been through the customs, but hasn;t arrive yet. What info would you need exaclty. I would be able to make some detailed pictures, I could check whether SUPER and Collesium is just some decals or maybe originally printed then I will bring it to the tech and probably have more info. Allright?

So guys, the T arrived I checked it today only from outside. I made some close up pictures. You can find them here:
http://s642.photobucket.com/albums/uu144/kupervaser/Sunn%20model%20T/

I am pretty sure that coleseum model T is a genuine writings on the back. It look very real to me.
The super model T I am not so sure. However the contours of the letters are very sharp, but the paint that could be different, and it feels a little different than the writing " T". And I can not find any traces of the old writing "model" where there is "super"now. CHeck the pictures and let me know.
The amp look better than I thought at first place, a little dusty but I will give it some cleaning. THere is also a serial number. Maybe we can trace it?

A serial number wont say much as I understand, they were random. Second gen Model T era?
Yes I question the "Super Model T" for sure...
Have you pulled the chassis to see the layout inside?

In the first picture you can tell it used to say model T, but was scratched out and changed to say "super" T, The T is moved over about 1/2''

yeah, you are right, I can see it now. This is the second generation I believe, only with white knobs. But they used to use white knobs in the beginning of the second generation era right?
Haven't checked the inside yet. Will do it later.
So why does it say colleseum at the back?

Those knobs look like ones you could get at Radio Shack at one time.

Yeah, I see those knobs as general replacements a lot on vintage amps.

There's a good chance it's either from the very first run on Gen 2 model Ts or it's a NOS Gen 1 chassis used for a Gen 2.
