Not necessarily, it will still shield.

Are you sure ? I'm going on shielding electric guitar innards in a past life where they had to be earthed... Just putting the copper tape in there alone did squat.

Agreed. Unless the shielding is earthed, it will just "float" electrically; acting as an equipotential surface and offering no shielding or screening properties at all.

Cool :thumbsup: you've saved me from egg on the face... I've always laughed at people that wrap copper tape around cables / equipment chassis and neglect to earth it.

Will be keeping an eye out for more of its ilk :)

Thats why the old 'KA2000' {Brown Facia}/ 'KA2000a' {Silver facia} were extremely popular in their time.

Yes, lovely little amps. They've always been so ignored by most. The sound quality is not that much different to the original Sugden A21, in other words, very good. Transparent, sweet and detailed with no nasties at the top end.

Completed listings shows they sell on average for under £20... I shall have to get my hands on one.

:rolleyes:

The only thing those Quad IIs are good for is putting in the skip! Look at how the bitumen potting has melted and leaked out of one of the mains transformers!

The valves might be worth a tenner if they are Mullard and GE MOV (KT66).
