The conversion of comercial amps to the russian triode is fairly well
documented on the net ,there a few extras that need to be addressed like a new
bias board and the additition of a 12.6v @5A filament transformer and of course
cooling...... I am curious however why the gent has changed the supior GI46
heatsink with 2 from the GI7B tubes , this makes absolutly no sense to me
