919DR112 Hylight 6-input PAUS
920DR112 Hylight 6-input PA Hylight era. A very dusty rescue project. Control panel has significant horizontal crack roughly at level of top of chassis, with several radiating cracks last T of Hiwatt is missing. The 2 in serial number appears to have been struck over a 1. Pots dated 1968 and 1969, caps 1969 and 1970 one has evidence of a single bubble. Yellow-label Partridges TG9302/G9487 and TG5479/G9486. White speaker outputs. Two extra line ins with level control above the echo in/out looks like a factory mod. Came with four Mullard EL34s, four Mullard 12AX7s, two Brimars and a Zaerix 12AX7. Black tolex is different pattern than my 1972 DR-103. Bulgin outlet replaced with IEC.
UPDATE: Apparently modified by Hiwatt, this PA includes a seventh preamp tube, an extra pair of inputs over the standard echo in/out, and a pair of chicken head controls, one each to the right of each pair of echo in/out so one is between the standard echo in/out and slave inputs, and the other is directly above. Upon testing, these controls are effect level controls determining the wet/dry mix of whatever is in the loop.Bass response on this head is particularly strong, even with all the original electrolytic caps mostly keep bass at 9 oclock ~3 for guitar use, too strong at 6 oclock.

922DR201 4-KT88 Hylight 4-input Serial stamped as /922. PT TG9424 G9489, OT TG7239 G9488, choke TG7240 G9490. Filter caps date codes 6951, 6953 70-07. Pots made by DCC and date codes are 6920, 7007, 6846 6923. Despite the /, sure it dates to early 1970 and serial therefore 922 not 1922UK
931DR103 Hylight 4-input All original and in spec apart from one filter cap. pots mostly mid 69, presence pot 7007, both sides of V2 used, plenty of preamp gain available.

Mains switch different to standby but looks to be original. Amazing sounding amp.IE

1263DR103 Hylight 4-input I bought it with 2 4x12 cabs from Badfinger name still on cab back in 1970 when we formed Wolf. Used it with Caravan until about 1980ish and still used it up to 4 months ago. New valves twice - Fanes re-coned 3 or 4 times. It wasnt the first. I was playing with Jerry Donahue at school and about 4 years after and we tried Sound City amps, originally also by Dave Reeves. Then we heard that they had changed, but that Dave Reeves was making his own brand. We went to his house and found they were being built in his garage - and we bought one. I love this amp..I think its going to outlive me.

It still has Partridge transformers. This amp was once played by Andy Bell of Ride later of Oasis, then Beady Eye who borrowed it when my band Jupiter supported Ride in 1991.

In this way the amp can guarantee in pentode mode DR103s original circuit 100 watt and 50 watt output power, plus in triode mode 50 watt and 25 watt output power according to the musicians want. So the amp can be cranked not only in a stadium, but also in a small studio. Awesome! Since this amp is an early one, sounds darker than a late 70s model the tone is very same as Martin Barre's of early Jethro Tull.
