Just FYI, apex jr requires $20 min order.
"Holy smokes Batman!" THAT is a complete REBUILD! The last one you did sounded that good? Did you also remove the tone controls on that one? I am impressed with the complete teardown and rebuild and wish I had the patience (and a tube amp worthy of the effort). I don't know how the EICOs sound, but I am guessing pretty darned good. Thank you for posting the progress. I can hardly wait to see the results (see? that patience thing again).

Not to be a Buzz Kill, but yah after all that work I'd want the matching output tranny's.
(even if they got you the same performance per channel it would bug me there different)
Buzz,
Very nice work.
I was wondering if you could detail how you did the lettering. I have a Sansui 6060 faceplate that I washed the lettering clean off
The sheet metal was done as a turn-key operation by the metal fab shop that I use. They had it silkscreened.
For your situation, I have seen folks that do antique radio glass repair. It's not cheap. Probably the biggest challenge is to re-create the artwork, to prepare the silkscreen mask.
BuzzK,
I apologize for mentioning it if, in fact, it does bother you. If you like, I'll trade you one of my mismatched pair for whichever you want. However, I imagine that Eico specified them such that the performance is the same and Eico delivered their amps with the mismatched pairs sometimes, as I've seen them on eBay.
