Wabash Deluxe 1158 by Wexler amp ?
I just got it out of storage from about 8 years ago, it's a Wabash
Deluxe Model 1158 amp in a tweed case made by David Wexler & Co., Chicago with an Electrovoice Wolverine LS-15, 15 inch speaker. It has two chassis, and upper and lower. The lower has a 5Y3, 2 6L6GB, 6SN7, 12AX7, and 6JS7. The upper has 2 12AX7 and several inputs and controls. Left side is a jack for Tremolo and 2 pots for Speed and Strength. Next is 3 jacks for Guitar or other instruments along with a Bass, Volume and Treble control. Then to the right there are two identical areas each labeled Microphone or Accordion along with respective Volume and Tone controls. After I got it, I could find nothing Googling, same result today, must be a rare item. I need to get the dust and crap out of it and bring it up slowly with a Variac. If anyone has any info like a schematic I'd sure like to know. tnx Hank WD5JFR |

I'd make that the fourth quarter of 1955. Alan |

It sounds like a mighty useful amp to me and worth the attempt. |

Wexler called me back and said they haven't been in that line for over
50 years but if they found anything they'd let me know. I was impressed that they called back, good people. -- 73 Hank WD5JFR "Henry Kolesnik" wrote in message et...
