.........but I hope you'll help! :yes: 
A friend of ours, inspired by our 500-C, went out to an estate/yard type sale and bought himself some tubes! :yippy:
It's not a receiver. He got an H.H. Scott 290 amplifier and an H.H. Scott model 122 pre-amplifier. They look very very handsome. We have done a little research with/for him and told him about this place obviously, but can't find a lot about those models.
We did find out that they are nice and fairly rare. He got both pieces for $300.
The Scott website doesn't even have a schematic for the 290 OR the 122! He hasn't opened anything up yet, but I still wanted to ask you guys a question: does the 122 use one of those selenium rectifiers like Daddy's 500-C had or diodes or something else? We were able to figure out just from looking at the top of the 290 and looking up all the tubes that it has a "full wave rectifier" TUBE in it. :yes: TWO of them actually! Number 5U4G
We have explained to him that whatever he does or doesn't do, that if it does have one of those selenium rectifiers in it that it has to GO! :yes:
We also told him about Variacs and dim bulb testers. Something else I need to know is if the 122 pre-amplifer has to have any sort of load on it like a power amp does when you start giving it the voltage?
Any help or suggestions would be great! I posted this here because I feel as if I know you guys (AND I KNOW I can trust your advice!).
Thanks a bunch!
