James Burgess

Hmm. I have a pair of amplifiers that I was told were made by James Burgess. They started life as Wurlitzer organ amps, but got modified to use 45s as SETs. The mod was done a long time ago- all of the wiring inside is done with cloth covered wire.

They came from an estate a good five years ago. The owner used them with a pair of Coral Betas which I also picked up.

My burgess is a 45 based SET amp, and I love it. As long as I have my horns, I will be listening to this awesome amplifier. James is a great designer/builder, and a real gentleman too.
