Dswanky, Nice job on your amp. Fun stuff for not much cost. I hope it gets some use.

Well, the Magnavox has lasted 5 decades and still sounds wonderful and should last another 5 decades when refreshed. A solid chassis and plenty of room to work in. With some work it can look as nice as most amps.

Loudness really depends on the speakers... It's really for low level listening.

Use a Variac. Keep it simple.. Monitor the 6.3 heater voltage

Didn't know so many creative upgrades were available! The talent is amazing....

Turn the flash On your camera then proceed.

I use a C1 kenwood and did the DRM cap & op amp upgrade. It did take it a step up and I really enjoy it. I would recommend both upgrades. I also had a NAD 1130 that made me happy....Cheers

They made some nice stuff! Enjoy

I don't make complicated projects! I use my old wooden ruler to get things placed right. I want to do it myself. Those step drills are awesome.... I also believe in Alien's.

Sure you don't mean? "Decoupling Circuit"?

If you don't use a Sylvania, then fuse the hell out of your amp.

Why not go back to 5U4s? Buy used American and you'll be good for years...

Maybe repost the Mk 3 schematic for us?

"For the love of Mary"! I thank you for finding the replacement and Rickl to verify they do go bad.

Having difficulty finding one....One channel drops out when ever it wants. I did spray and it lasted a while but needs to be replaced. I wonder if the preamp really needs a relay. If I turn it on before the amp and the amp off first maybe I could ditch the relay? Your thoughts?
