Hoffmanamps Boardmaker Instructions

To follow along with these pages you should go to the library page and print out the layout diagram for the 5F6A Bassman board.

I made the first 5F6A Bassman kit in 1995. I sold them up until 2001. Things got very busy around here and I had to cut out high labor operations and concentrate on the mail order tube amps part business. I stopped making amps from scratch several years ago which was the most labor for the least amount of money and then I quit doing repairs in 2001. The last high labor operation was the board kits and I did not want to stop making them but I had to.

 Then a brain storm hit me, why not sell the parts to my customers so they could make their own hand wired circuit boards using my tried and true parts layout designs? That's what these next few pages are about, how to make one of my Hoffman hand wired circuit boards.

Originally, I made 6 different board kits and there were 100 watt/4 power tube variations on three of them.
The different boards were the 5E3 Tweed deluxe, the 5F6A Tweed Bassman (2 or 4 power tube), the Marshall plexi 50 (2 or 4 power tube), the Vox AC30, the black face Fender reverb combo AB763 (2 or 4 power tube) and the re-issue stand alone reverb unit 6G15. I have added some different board layouts since then like the 18 Watt stout, etc. To see the layout diagrams for the Hoffman boards, go to this page.

 Go here to see the original instructions that came with all my board kits. These instructions get revised now and then. The instructions are not specific to each kit, they apply to all the boards. All of the boards are assembled by following the layout diagram.

Go here to see the old board kit page that I had in my parts catalog section. You can see photos of all the board kits and what came with each kit.

Here are all the pages with information that you will need to reference.
