What's-up with the light bulb?
You might actually confuse that with the "Mojo" prototypes. AFAIK they did not have the SCHIZO switches and there are indeed only 2 in existence (I think those were combos).
The Caveman (again, this is what I read somewhere) is also extremely rare but there are approx. 25 of them out there. This one here is the only one with 230V, I had it modified to that.
From what I know (...read on HRI) the light bulb absorbs the initial power surge per turning the amp on before sending power to the tubes, then it fades out of the circuit, thus extending tube life.
The chassis says "Mojo" on the back but - its really a Caveman. I guess that Bogner had some chassis made for the Mojo but when that one didn't make it to production in the end, the leftovers were used to make some of the Cavemans. If somebody has more detailed information on this amp I am looking forward to your message. It's hard to find any info at all on these...
