[Amps] Alpha 77dx

[Colin Lamb]

"Funny how much expense and work folks will endure for 3 db!"

It may not have anything to do with 3 db.  I am restoring a factory 77SX for myself.  I even have the black panel for it.  I never ever run over 1500 watts output and toyed with the idea of converting my amp to a single tube DX.  It would be the only such conversion.  But, I could not get myself to do it.  So, I will run it with two tubes.  

I remember in school a classmate blew the engine of his Porsche Speedster and offered the car to me for $100, so he could buy something reliable.  I toyed with the idea of buying it and putting in a VW engine, which I could afford.  

The truth is that the black paneled 77SX looks better than most other amps I own and I do not have to worry about spending more than 10 seconds tuning it up.
