    Pilot 402 (Console pull) Tube Receiver

    SIXCATS!! what's up I'd definitely get that pilot recapped and ger a fresh rectifier tube in there. Pilit stuff is comparable to scott and fisher performance wise..... not to mention that pilot, once restored will drive those giant EV / University speakers REALLY NICE

    Fantasia amps

    Wow...... Those are impressive! Many moons ago I had a pair of RCA 9359 amps... I electrically restored them and sold them during the great divorce purge.... They used 4 809's in push pull parallel but similar build quality. Luckily nearly all my wiring was good, as was the iron. For that...

    Magnavox 196BA (Large OPT)

    Those golden voice drivers are all Jensen... Good stuff! The 5 inchers make great full rangers... No crossover needed... Depending on the actual model of the 10's, they too could be viable full range drivers. Any pics or manufacturers stampings? I'm a sucker for single ended amps driving full...
