Hi,

I just bought a 112 sixty five RP in pretty good condition. It has no pre amp tubes so it's one of the later versions.

2 things:
tubes are very old 'telefunken' el34. are these the originals? and whats a good brand to replace them with?

the grillcloth almost literally turns into sparkling dust when i even touch it.
Whats the name of the original colour of the grillcloth?
Is it hard to replace it myself? (i'm semi clumsy)

thanx,

bart, holland

You will find some instructions on installing new grill cloth in the area marked "Grill Cloth". If you are a total klutz and have no tools or patience it is best left to someone who can handle it. To do it right can easily consume several hours.

The RD/RP 65/100 series never had any other tubes other than the output tubes. It may be possible that the Telefunkens are original tubes. There seem to be a lot of people who like the JJ EL34... look in the Tube topic for specific information.
