So as not to sow the idea that I'm of the opinion logo design met with universal deterioration as the years rolled by:

I like the embellishments that occurred in the 12 years since the 93-350 amp was built.

I present the Allied Knight KN3050HD. I love the look of this amp, functional. The black on the enclosure is spray paint which was applied in a less than perfect manner, original coloring was similar to the dark turquoise section of the lower control set.

Don't sit on your sheet metal amplifiers! Left to right: 5V3, two 6CA7 and a quartet of 12AX7; hiding behind the cardboard wrapped multisection can cap is a 6AV6.

I think I did this in the late 1990s with the intent of lodging a 1/4" jack in that hole. I hate looking at my half baked ideas from over a decade ago poorly (or in this case, not) executed, hopefully 15 years from now I'll look back on what I'm doing these days with a sense of pride. Otherwise all is lost (HAHAHAHAHAHA).

Top shot speaks of less than optimal living conditions, can't play the patina card on this one - we've shot into rust territory.

From the front this amp is quite approachable by the pedestrian operator, more complex configuration is tucked away in the set & forget realm of the rear.

Guts! Feature set similar to the Bogen M60A, but a little more open & inviting.

Here's where the spray paint causes problems, masking a sheet of paper isn't difficult. Thankfully the schematic is still legible, though marginally presentable. Since I can read it I'm not going to mess with cleaning it up.

Somewhat blurry, but this too is readable. High tech date code.

All in all, the interior looks good. Hum balance pot above shows the trace has separated from its backing, but it looks serviceable none the less.

Here's a Lear Siegler era Bogen M60A tubed PA head.

Compared with the Bogen logo from earlier days, I'm going to set my expectations a touch lower on this one. Granted, it's probably twice as powerful, but power isn't everything.

Classy design & good looks still count for something. Back to this amp, survey says: 1967.

A note! This isn't going to be the last note published here, nor is it going to be the most interesting, but - this one is highly informative. Let me run down my analysis of this note (spanning the next couple pictures as well).

1st: The unit was shelved due to low power output, not because of some more serious problem.

I'm going to go ahead and quote the note here, because I'm going to wind up coming back to it in bits and pieces and it'll simply be easier if I'm dealing in text.

With 12AX7 in input 2
it works but is nowhere
near 60w @ 8 Ω.
Check out if worth fixing
(maybe tube refit: eg:
6L6's & 12AX7's)

Here's the top side of the chassis. By the late 1960s sound reinforcement was fast turning into a more sophisticated endeavor, as evidenced by the input/output block at the rear of this unit. At first I thought that the low output power may have been the result of improper configuration of input selector, but wait, let's re-read part of that note:

With 12AX7 in input 2

"input 2"

Well, I do see a 9 pin Noval socket down there labeled "INPUT 2", and seeing how 12AX7 are also Noval base the parts will physically fit, but, 9 pin miniature does not automatically equate to a tube, much less a 12AX7. Note, there is no tube designation call out in the proximity of those sockets. That is because those sockets are wired for input transformers.

Like this. TM-200 input transformer can, on a Noval 9 pin base. Clearly an unpowered tube is going to pose a hindrance to signal. But I digress.

(maybe tube refit: eg:
6L6's & 12AX7's)

I'd also like to point out that there isn't a 12AX7 or a 6L6 in this entire amp. Thus concludes my note decomposition, there's hope for this amp yet.

Guts! The thicker wires are shielded, build quality is pretty robust. Busy, but not overly convoluted. This also pretty much looks exactly like the other LSI Bogen guts I've seen.

I found the schematic on this page on makeradio.com, ton of other Bogen stuff there, in case you wound up here looking for a schematic I didn't post.

This grill hides a spot for a ~3 inch speaker. I can laugh at the notion of a 60 watt powered mixer pushing a front panel mounted 3" speaker, can't I?

Yes, yes I can.
