Would you consider selling one of your Supro Guitars ? Im looking for a Martinique or a Val Trol. They're just so hard to come across especially how i live in the UK!
@adamhopeless - sorry, but I can't part with the Supros, they're my favorite guitars. However...the winter months are the best time to scour ebay for them, as people sell off their belongings to pay for holiday spending sprees. Good luck!
@beakedporpoise - ah...in that case....good luck! The Martinique was Supro's most expensive model ($250 in '65) so they didn't sell that many of 'em...making 'em kinda hard to find these days. The Dual-Tone (60s fiberglass bodied version) is a lot more common, kinda has a similar look and sound, and is a lot less expensive (no Bigsby or "inside the bridge" pickup, though). I use one for open G, next best thing to the Martinique.
Nice pedal! Really captured the vibe. I see you have a lot of valco stuff, you don't happen to have a schematic of the National (by Valco) Tremotone 1224T. I have one with speakers dating November 1958. 6973 output tubes. Constantly searching the internet for a schematic, seems impossible to find.
@ericohman - I have a couple of XX24 schematics for 2x6973 Valcos, as you know they "evolved" over the years, maybe the ones I have will be helpful to you? Send me your email address.
There were three versions of the Coronado: a big black archtop made with a Harmony H-62 body - the 1590 model, followed by the 1580 which was a thinner archtop made with a Harmony Meteor body (with a blond finished top), and the Coronado II, a black fiberglass guitar the same size and shape as the Martinique I'm playing in this video.
