smokiturtle Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I recently picked up a pair of KG 4s that were advertised on CL for $150. The cabs are good. One passive has the center dust cover (or whatever it is) dented in. I plan on using them in my boat barn/shop to replace an old Magnavox console the I listen to the oldies station on. Hooked the speakers up to a Integra DTR 7 and all is well, except, I have read so much about how KG 4s sound so much better with tubes. So.... I have a H H Scott LK 72 that my dad and I built when I was in high school. It hasn't been bowered up in over 10 years so I'm afraid to plug it in. The last person to touch it was a TV repair man who replace a cap but with a smaller diameter one. I would like to get the Scott up and running but the only local audio shop doens't know what a variac is. I live on the Oregon Coast. Suggestions?

Rivernuggets Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Welcome to the Forum Bill. Lots of great info on these threads. Stick around! Craig at NOS Valves services tube amps. He's in Hale, MI, so it would involve shipping your Scott unit to him for the work. Email him with your questions. He's a very good guy. I hope this helps.

Audio Flynn Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 www.nosvalves.com Craig has done work on several vintage tube amps for myself and others on the forum with excellent results. I would DOUBLE BOX and send to Craig for an assessment. Turing it on may damage amp components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
