    Pio, i just had a realisation though regarding the AM pre.... the dials and controls must have been taken from an old radiogram but the chassis is the same as the amplifier so i think the maker has also built the AM Pre to suit. It makes sense as the wiring and setup is again too complex for a...

    Thank you, Can I ask what the sensitivity or responsiveness of vintage radios are like. Or do most radios now not pick much signal?

    Is the drive amp unit within the valve? What I am trying to determine is if the two missing valves have anything to do with the magic eye or receiption of the am preamp? Thanks again
