Hasse Carvin Vintage 16 Mods page
On this page are links to directions for my mods for the Carvin Vintage 16 guitar amp. Also links for schematics of the stock Carvin amp and the moddified amp.
The instruction page includes explanations of what was done and why, as well as how to do it.
These are all in Adobe Acrobat pdf form, so you will need Acrobat Reader in order to view them (available free from Adobe). I've started doing these pages this way now because the pdf files take up so much less room in my web accounts, they use up much less bandwidth, and they are easy for you to save to you computer. You may do as you wish with these, but I ask that if you share them or use the info that you would give credit where it is due.
I do sell kits for any of the mods I have posted on these pages. Electronic parts are available in many places, and you may have your sources already. If not it makes it a little easier to go with one source where you can get all the parts you need for the job, and be assured they work properly. And that is the benefit my kits bring. Plus my assistance if you need it.
Please contact me at hasserl@netzero.net for information on kits.
Also, I perform these mods, as well as other mods, repairs, services, etc. on amps for people who do not want to do them themselves. Not just for people local to me, but people ship their amps to me for mods quite often. You can ship just the chassis to save on shipping charges, I don't need the entire amp. When I do these mods for people I go ahead and set the bias for the tubes sent with the amp, and give the amp a good once over. If it need serviceing such as pots and jacks cleaned, and/or tube sockets retensioned, I can do that for you also. If you want more info on this service please contact me at the same email address listed above.
Thanks,
Richard
