National-Dobro Model B - Instrument preset

Verified · 88/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Model B is a late-1930s National-Dobro amplifier from the first generation of amps built for electric steel and Spanish guitars, dating from October 1938. Four inputs (three instrument plus a mic) feed two 6N7 dual-triode stages, each pair with its own volume control, then mix into a third 6N7 and a 6N7 phase inverter driving a push-pull pair of 6L6s. A 5V4G rectifier and a field-coil speaker complete it; there is no tone control.
