NAD - USA Studio Pro red stipe Transtube & a question

[Armagosa]

Traveling with the wife, I like to check out pawn shops. In one, I spotted this made in USA Studio Pro. It was filthy. Like someone had spilled a cup of coffee on it and let it dry. It had a cheapo Celestion Rocket 50 in it, with loose mounting nuts. The cone was warped. But all in all, it sounded real good, so I bought it for $112 plus tax.

Got it home and disassembled it for a good cleaning. The 50 watt Celestion in a 65 watt amp was replaced with a Carvin British 100 watt speaker and I swapped out the short reverb tank with a long Accutronics to eliminate reverb hum. Also installed a Weber Beam Blocker.

What is interesting is that it does not have the red delta badge on the grill cloth. I noticed this on some USA red stripe TransTube Studio Pro and Bandit pictures across the web. Was the delta badge only on certain years?

Here she is with the rest of my Peavey collection. The amp sounded great at church last Sunday.

I have a red stripe bandit with the logo and a matching 112 extension cab made at the same plant without it. You can tell there never was one on it. Apparently the later ones just before producion moved to China didn't have them.

Delta Badges are easy to take off and use as Star Trek Transporter Gizmos's (Badges)

Do you have the reverb number for the amp? Long tank would be nice.
