I agree with you 100%. PWK is very respected at my place. [Y]

I've been wanting to purchase for some time now.

Damn!!!! [H]

Take a look at Bob Crites site.....people seem to really like his stuff and he is also acitve on the forum Welcome to the forum!

LOL!!!!

Yeah buddy!!!! A C note for some CII's is what Martha would call " A good thing". [H] Pics?

YES!!!!

Photoshopped or not, it's a cool photo.

I can't even imagine the sound from the horns. Glad you kept your cool and didn't throw the Citation in the lake.......save that aggression for the fish.

I would like to take a drive on the road that islander posted.

Beautiful tables for sure! [Y]

It was that deal that Robert Johnson made with the devil......if you believe in that kind of thing. Very sad.

Thanks for the info erik2A3. I was thinking of the GG for a first build ( the bottlehead stuff looked good too) but just picked up a dynaco SCA-35 and it needs a liitle bit of attention, so I will wait a little while longer before I purchace.

gnat, you really have a great looking set up!

Looks like I have good company here too. I fired up the smoker this morning and threw a pork sirloin in there.

JL, I have been following your thread on the 6H30. I will check out the link you provided. Thanks!!! [Y]

The GG is what I have my eye on for right now, and mini beast (4wpc) would be great for my LS or Khorns. I was hoping there might be some others here who have put some of these amps together.

Do any of you have any experience with these kits? The reviews and the price seems to be right for me and they look good as well.

Great looking speakers! I love my Chorus's and hope to own a pair of CII's one day.

Nice to see that you are doing the work your self........it seems to be a little more rewarding that way. Nice job. [Y]

I finally got through replacing the caps, electrolytics and both selenium rectifiers today and I could not have done it without tube fanatic's help, he was very patient, knowledgeable, and very thorough. He truly has an understanding of these types of things, to which I am very greatful. I have really enjoyed learning a little bit about how these things work, and now I want to buy a kit and put one together. So far I am digging the sound from this amp. Here is a picture of some of the updates, while not perfect, nor pretty I feel like I understand that solder gun much better. Thanks again Maynard! [Y]

This is a great hobby right? With time and some patience you can really put together a great set up for not too much money espcially when you barter and trade up. [Y]

Thanks for the reply fellas [Y] I spoke with Craig this morning and he was very helpful. I am going to replace the caps and a few other small components. I was typing out of stupidity when I said I was going to build a chassis.......I meant build a nice base or cab for it for the time being. I think it will eventually go back into the original cab. I cleaned up the face plate and put that back on and that help a little with the aesthetics. If I can put $30-40 in parts and a little time into it, and it sounds better then I am stoked about that.

6973 The 6973 is a terrific audio tube (although fairly expensive, particularly if you prefer NOS to tubes of recent manufacture)! When used in push-pull, and depending on the operating voltages and bias method used, it can deliver anywhere from around 12-20 watts with low distortion. I'm not surprised that it sounds so good. However, it does have quite a number of capacitors which should absolutely be replaced to avoid potential failure down the road. I've restored quite a number of receivers like this over the years and they are definitely worth preserving. Don't get rid of it!!! I really have a lot to learn and do not understand push-pull yet. I plan on ordering caps for it today. Do you think that will solve the noise issue I am having? ( its like a white noise....not a hum) The model unit for the console is 3092PC and the only numbers on the chassis are 456. and 54563 I am going to try and build a chassis for it and I plan on keeping the console for a nice table or something.
