Title: SE84A authenticity / originality questions Post by scriptlogical on 08/14/24 at 19:20:55 Hello. I came across an early SE84A amplifier. I have previously owned a se84c-s, so I am familiar with the great sound. After I sold the se84cs, I have searched until now to find another se84 amp. The questions i have about this se84A amp: Is the transformer original? It is grey painted. Is the chassis "brushed aluminum" original? I thought the early se84 were all grey. Is the large 32uf capacitor original? Is the signature on bottom signed by "Steve" actually Steve Deckert!? Have a good day and thanks for insight |

Title: Re: SE84A authenticity / originality questions Post by Lon on 08/14/24 at 19:44:44 If it is a Rev. A it should have a transformer with black end caps, gray chassis, no brushed aluminum, and the "volume control" is on the back by the power cord inlet. 00046 seems about the right serial number; I bought the 27th amp that Steve built, and right after that he made Rev. A amps and I sent mine back for the revisions. |

Title: Re: SE84A authenticity / originality questions Post by Lon on 08/14/24 at 23:23:07 Yes, that looks legit. I don't remember my bottom plate looking like that, but it may have--I haven't seen mine in about fifteen years--I leant it to a friend then and then let him just keep it when I moved from Texas to Ohio over ten years ago. I'm not sure if the caps are stock, but may be. And the signature looks likely authentic as well. |
