NOSValves Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 The only thing warranteed are parts replaced. not tubes and this amp still has its original above chassis high voltage cans. I can warranty my work but not 40+ year old parts like transformers, tubes and any original components just to be absolutely clear.

tubelover Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Are the tubes bad already? Maybe he did not or has not biased them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 You would have to ask the seller of the amp about the tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubelover Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I sent the seller an email and made him or her an offer. They have not responded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Reality check needs biasing. Smilin doesn't need beer in his Wheaties. He needs $650. He'll get it, sooner or later. Give your wife a hug, Smilin. If you were down here in St. Louis, I'd get her a Ted Drewe's custard. They are great, and she is too Hope all is well...

It seems to be raining and pooring on my life recently. hopefully the Stoms will be over soon. Tubesinhard-I never recieved your email offer, BTW Craig says the tubes are about 80%, but will need to be replaced in the future...I have only put abput 25 hours use on this unit.

What do you mean by, the future? I have been under the impression that a tube which tests at 80% is pretty much considered like new? I always thought that tubes need to be considered for replacement at aaround 50% of their maximum test value? Would someone with knowledge in this area please comment here?

JJJeffries Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Smilin: Could you email me PICS of the Scott amp? I just happen to have some spare change so if I like what I see maybe we can exchange some currency for the amp.

3dzapper Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I have a NOS coin base set of 7591s, a set of OE Scotts, a set of used RCAs, and a set of Sylvanias. I don't know how many hours are on the last three sets but every one of them including the NOS measure 80% on my Heathkit tester and sound great.
