Rivernuggets Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Drove two hours and forty mintues round trip to buy a Scott 299-C on CL yesterday. After some spray cleaner (Radio Shack) the switches behave and the unit works well. It's definately not something I'm going to leave playing music while I run an errand. I've been switching it between Forte IIs and Heresy Is. Very nice. Gotta save up some $ for Craig at NOS Valves. Too many stereo projects, and they all require money. How did I do that......?

Rivernuggets Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Haven't seen tubes in person for many years. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Didn't know they generated this much heat. My son is 2 1/2 years old. If he manages to touch one after being warned, the words "careful, that's hot!" will have a lot more credibility in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Nectar Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 NIIIIIICE[] Looks like a great candidate for a NOSValves rebuild. Absolutely recommended! Nice Mullard 5AR4 too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Really a nice looking unit. I've got my eyes on a Fisher 500-C. I hope it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Good luck in getting that Fisher, Boxx. This is my first purchase into tubes, and I like it so far. Forgot to say, I bought this Scott for $275. The seller said he got it out of the garbage during the 'spring cleaning' garbage pickup in the Chicago area last spring. Makes you wonder what else is going in the trash that shouldn't be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmako Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Sweeeeeeeet. I keep looking, but I am having issues with the wallet. If I could find a deal like that I'd jump. It looks great for it's age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't leave the top off while it's operating in a place that your son can get to it. In addition to getting a bad burn if he touches a tube, worse could be electrocution if he touches anything else inside there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks for the safety tip, JMON. Also didn't know tubes could be that dangerous. Very scary and I will take all precautions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
