Here is a very interesting note on the amplifier that Jet Harris used for Apache and other Shadows recordings. I had learned in this or other Shadows forum that Jet probably used Abbey Road’s Leak amplifier; apparently a Leak RC-PA (ie Remote Control Pre Amplifier) mono preamp, produced in 1947-1951 fed through a TL25 power amp. The lucky fellow who posted the note may have the very preamp that Jet (and possibly one Paul McCartney) used!

Here is the photo of Jet at what is generally regarded the Apache studio seesion, with the Leak:
This is all new to me, so I find this quite exciting.
