Trouble is though fixing a transformer is not a trivial thing, and if the
system has valves no longer made it is going to be a nightmare as well.



** The valves are not the issue - 7868s ( 9 pin ) have an equivalent, the 7199 octal type. Means fitting new sockets.

The 6DT8 appears to be a 6.3V heater version of the 12AT7 - so rewiring the sockets is all you need to do.

The output tranny is a deal breaker, but the overall parts cost and time needed are way out of the ball park.


Was
this the one which was one of the first pcb mounted valve devices that
tended to get warped boards due to heat?


** All point to point hand wired - very nice IMO.


It was a long long time ago. My old
Rogers was point to point wired, in fact still is and still works, but then
its a much lower powered device and although itsounds nice I doubt it would
cut it against relatively cheap units today, but is good as a foot warmer!

Neat little system.
