Outstanding quality kit Dynaco

[Erik Mandaville]

I've posted about these in the past, as have a couple of other forum members. For the money, one would get a world-famous vintage design, and enough of an audio DIY education to be able to modify, should one decide to do that for whatever reason, down the road.

This kit is extraordinarily well-organized and put together, and done by someone for whom wiring is an art form (check out the example of the factory-wired version used for illustration purposes). It would be a first-rate example from which to work.

This would be really fun to put together. It's not a bad price either. Brand new 35WPC tube amps are a pretty penny in today's economy. Coupled with a sweet little tube pre and you are set to go. I think you can even drive these directly with a CD player.

That does look nice, Erik. Asking this as someone who has 3 non-working ST70s needing help, how does one know which wires to solder "in a bee-line" from point-to-point (they look like you could pluck 'em), which to make 90 degree angles going from here to there, and which ones to twist together?

if at first you don't succeed look in the trash for the directions.....

This gentleman is up in the hills about thirty five minutes from me. I traded emails with him about two years ago or so about running up for a visit. I never followed through, maybe I should. This really is a great looking kit. I may even be interested in one for myself.
