OK I put tis in the bragging section already however the purist will wonder why I did not restore my RD 50.

"COST" I literally pulled the RD from a dumpster and built this rig from materials I had in my garage except for a new power transformer the 6488's and a few caps. The stuff I had was of course worth money but all I spent on this project was about $40 the repair to the amp wood cabs and stand all fabricated by me.

I fist got interested in the RD 50 when I heard Chet Atkins play one and my amp has that clean sound just right for playing country but fun rockin in the D mode played loud trhough the Eminence 12"

Rather interesting setup but unfortunately, in My band, I'd go deaf bending over to adjust the amp! We're pretty freaking lound at times. Besides, I don't really like HEARING myself most of the time!

Not a problem Mike you can put the head on top or forget the stand and stack as normal I put feet on the head to clear the handle on the speaker. One thing I missed and need to do is put shielded reverb cables they pick up a bit of hum from the transformer. As far as loud I found in most small clubs I point the speaker at the celing and it reflects down works pretty good but not in all cases.
