1950s Harmony H44 Stratotone into '55 National by Valco

Hey, this is another video of my H44 Stratotone, this time using my '55 National amp by Valco.

Again not much going on here & gets pretty sloppy, but I got this lick I'm playing, haven't really had the chance to go anywhere with it yet so basically just playing it and noodling around, near the end I pulled out another riff I've been playing and haven't added too. Anyway amongst some bad playing there's some good playing I guess and it sounds great IMO.

Hope you all enjoy it.

You don't happen to have a schematic for the National Tremotone? I have one (1224T) with 2 oval speakers and speakers are dating november 1958. Filter caps will have to be replaced, and possible the coupling caps as well. Shopping parts from Turretboards store right now..

sorry I don't man! I don't know a thing about this stuff.

check out the Chicago 51 Valco discussion board, the guys there should have some answers for ya.

good luck with your rebuild!
