I've been looking at the schematics for this and reading what can in the
manuals. It looks like a few of the "Export" models had the 1214A Xfrmr.
This really looks like a great amp if you don't need 160 or fast switching
already there. It looks like something I could keep running forever with
off-the-shelf parts if I took care of the variable inductor. I love the
power supply with the resonant choke and oil filled capacitor. I assume it
is pretty stiff B+ with that arrangement and no electrolitics to dry out. Am
I right that some of them did get the big Transformer? If so, I am guessing
this would do about 2.1-2.2k k or so out without damaging the tubes or
pushing it too hard. I love what the new amps do, but there is just so much
proprietary stuff in them that even if the manufacturer stays in business,
they may not be able to get the OEM parts they chose when building them.
Simple and strong has a great appeal me. That glowing tube thing does not
hurt either.
Can anyone with one of these comment on their experience with the amp
please?
