I have a Epiphone Galaxie 10. I swapped the stock sovtek 12ax7 with a EH 12at7 and I like the sound. I want to swap the sovtek 6L6 power tube and the stock speaker to get vintage Chicago tone. Any suggestions? I was looking at an alnico weber but don't know if it will fit.

Hey Tombstone- I would say that different tubes or speakers would be the only things to try with that amp. I can't recommend any brand of tube over another, but Jensen, Weber, and Eminence make good affordable speakers. Working on this type of inexpensive tube amp has become a very popular hobby so it should be no problem to find some information online.....I'm thinking here of things like which popular speakers will fit, NOT "what tube is best".
