Got a 600-TA today from another AK'er. Some tubes missing, but not a problem. Popped the Cherry on the bottom lid. STILL VIRGIN! Lot's of "DOGTURDS" 5 Frako lytics, and 3 Multiple can caps. Rather than start a new thread on the restoration, I'll just add that in here.
The Front plate is PRISTINE, the actions are very smooth for the pots, and crisp and positive for the slide switches.
Gonna pull the tubes, test them, and clean the chassis with Scrubbing bubbles, then 91% Isopropyl.
Have to order caps, a 5AR4 Rectumfrier.
I've got a mixed quad of 7189's that are matched gm per side and 250gm between the sides. Minimum on my Philco 9100 is 7500 and these tubes run a pair 11,500 (Russian & Fisher) and 11,750 (Russian and RCA).
Does anyone think I should do a 1980 OLYMPICS HOCKEY Here(How many remember that without having seen the movie?). Russian tubes on one channel and USA Tubes on the other?
Gonna be a into Late Fall project. And it will have a permanent home inside of my CORONET II Console Cabinet. (Now to make a new faceplate unless DEREKVA still has one).
PICS! Shot in my 18ft Travel Trailer. That's why it looks like it's stuck up (the pole in 4th pic!).
