    7070 Cabinet dimensions? same as 9090?

    I've googled but I can't seem to confirm or deny this. Is the 7070 the same size as the 8080 and 9090, or more importantly, is the wood cabinet that houses them the same size. Thanks, Brad

    I have a Luxman LV-105u hybrid amplifier that needs some help. After opening her up to clean the pots, glass, test tubes, etc - it didn't work when I put it back together. The culprit: connectors that attach the tube board to their driver board. The heat related to the tubes made them...

    Recap Question- what about the filter caps?

    I've read thoughts here and there on specific units and replacing the big filter caps but thought I might ask for feedback from those that recap regularly on replacing those suckers. All the talk seems to suggest electrolytics may only have a 20 year shelf life and should be replaced but many...

    Marnatz 2230 shows 29V at the speakers

    I've found some of my answers here already but still am fuzzy on a few questions related to my Marantz 2230. 1. I realize it is capacitor coupled and understand that in theory. My unit is reading 29V DC at the speakers (measured in the same way you would DC offset). I'm suspecting that is...

    Fun with a Magnavox Stereo 6BQ5

    Chassis number 9302, uses the 6EU7 and a p/p pair of 6BQ5's per side. I replaced the filter and coupling caps, built the wood exterior and added a power switch, pilot light and :banana: jacks. It sounded decent stock, the new coupling caps made a huge difference and it sounds very good...

    P/P Amp - Voltage spike - Advice Please

    I have a Traynor amp that I have on my bench (actually a desk but you get the idea) When I brought it up on the variac at about half power I noticed smoke. I quickly shut it down. Once I got into it it was obvious someone had been in it before. It had 6L6's in place of the original...

    Please Tell me My Benz Ebony is OK

    I just mounted my new Benz Ebony on my Graham tonearm which sits upon my Sota Turntable. All this stuff is new to me (the sota I purchased used) so this is the first I've had it hooked up. The Benz seems weak in its suspension. Set-up was a breeze with the Graham tools and I took great care...

    Modded a Fender Bassman, OH Yeah!

    Just finished with some fairly major modification of a 60's Fender Bassman. This was the AB165 design and the mods suggested bring in more in line with the earlier and more desireable AA864 circuit. I'm tickled pink. For me this was my biggest DIY type project to date: Changed some...

    When a tube passes away a natural death

    Actually, I don't know it was a natural death, thus this post. I moved my stuff around so the fireplace would actually be usable this winter and when I hooked everything back up it was obvious one channel was louder than the other. After much troubleshooting to locate the problem, I...
