Rivervalleymgb Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Not the whole thing. I have too many for that. I have a Stromberg-Carlson with separate tuner and power faces that I am going to pull and keep. I also have a Motorola lowboy that I wish I could keep whole, but it is just too long (7 feet). It has one of the largest SS amps I have seen. A real monster. It is also one of the best sounding consoles I have heard. I have a Grundig Majestic that I have already gutted due to the cabinet being a little rough, but those parts will probably be sold to someone that restores those pieces. I do have a Grundig SO120 that is in my living room that will never be gutted. It is just too beautiful and pristine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tube fanatic Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Most of the console based amps using push-pull 6BQ5s were decent. For the few dollars needed to restore it (assuming the power and output xfmrs are good), why not do it? If nothing else, you could sell it to a forum member who wants to experience the joy of tubes without spending much ! Maynard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivervalleymgb Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Oh, it the amp will be restored. I wish someone would take the whole thing and put it back into it's original glory. I know most don't have the room for these monsters, and I have found I can only keep the one currently in the living room (still don't know where I am going to display it). I am going to keep my Stromberg-Carlson for myself since it has beautiful separate tuner and amp faceplates and chassis. I hate to gut it, but again, no room. I already have a storage building full of vintage gear + more in my garage. Even though I have a pair of each Heritage line, I can't keep all of those. THAT is the hardest decision of all on which to keep!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
