I am working on a friends M-16 could someone tell me what the impedence of the OT is
the amp did not have speakers and I installed some Eminence Alnico Blues out of early Reissue Bassman
is it 4 ohms or 8 ohms ???

2 ohms! Four 8 ohm 10" speakers wired in parallel, just like a 4/10 Bassman. BTW -- I still have a few of those transformers N.O.S. buried away in my storage somewhere.

ok,thanks
by the way is there a pic or layout of how the tone controls should be wired??
someone had previously changed the tone circuit, the treble pot was a dual ganged 500k and there were no capacitors in the circuit
I have wired (I think) like the schematic but there doesn't seem to be much of an affect when turning the pots
I have read this is a very nice tone circuit so I must have something wrong .
any ideas ???
