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.
