[Amps] Alpha 91b problem

[Rob Atkinson]

Yes EPD is a good outfit, I agree.  Ten Tec made their own iron to
save money because they were cheap.  They had a guy on the payroll who
did nothing but make their transformers but then he quit and went back
to where he came from (Canada?) not sure and I don't know what they
did after that.  I heard they originally used Dahl iron but quit him
because he was too expensive.  In those days I wanted the replacement
to fit in the box and I sent it to them and had the Dahl transformer
shipped to Sevierville.  I think I paid Dahl 4 or 5 hundred dollars.
The Ten Tec service guy actually argued with me.  They didn't want to
put in the Dahl transformer.  He insisted there's was okay.   After
two crap outs I wasn't a believer.  I had to order them to use the
Dahl transformer.   Nowadays I don't care if it fits or not.  I'll put
anything that works outside in a box and run wire to and from the
cabinet to it like with other amps such as the L4B.
