I have two new DIY tube projects coming up and was encouraged by Jaymanaa to place the posts in this section with updates for all to see. Jay has volunteered to be my mentor on this but all input will be appreciated.
These two mono blocks came from a Roberts 770X R2R that was not in great shape. The amps work fine and actually sound pretty good when a guitar was run through the unit. Anyway it looks like these will need some time and modding to get them to audio specs.
The left unit is running one each of the following tubes
6267
12AD7
6X4 rectifier
6BQ5/EL84
6AR5
The right has the same tubes minus the 6AR5
Here are pics of the right amp:

Does anyone know if these meters can be used to monitor power output?
All thoughts and help will be appreciated. Here's to hoping this will be a fun and fruitful project.
