Jim, your brothers amp and mine. Same amp, I put OPTs from a Curtiss Mathis and moved the tubes around, put new guts in but same schematic, same amp. Since I moved stuff around I used auto body stuff on it, put in military ceramic sockets, a gain control pot etc. The amp I pulled from the console had a fairly crispy OPT from the closeness of the 6BQ5. The OPTs I put in were larger so I had to move things.
I pulled some pics from the auction to show before and after. The amp your brother bought is in much better shape than the one I got.
I think I pulled it from an RCA but it has been a while and I don't know where the Sam's is, not that it really matters.
Well here goes: His
