Default Re: Linear Conchord/RSC A11 30 watt amp

Hi Tonyharker, I too have had them go wrong but they were so easy to fix that they would be ready for another gig the next night. It was amazing how many bands started out using those Linear/RSC/ Northwood cage amps there were hundreds of them and many still survive to this day. Other disco lads and bands would bring their amps to me during the week with instructions that they needed them for gigs on a Friday night, much to the consternation of my old man, when he saw the guys coming up his path with long hair and greatcoats! Good days though, but as you say money was tight and you had to make do with whatever parts and spares you could lay your hands on. I recall that my uncle, who was an area manager for DER (TV rentals) used to bring me chassis from old sets that were scrap so I could canibalise them for spares! How times have changed. Its nice to 'keep your hand in' though.
