This was an EF86 pentode, so it had a whole lot of voltage gain. Between that and a lack of a complete feedback loop the amp was kind of useless as-built. I suspect the feedback tied into the preamp somehow since it had wire in the umbilical off the output trafo, but I didn't have that half. I just made it work with what I had, which ends up being a pentode driver, a triode split-phase inverter, and a pair of EL84 tubes at the back end. To make that into a properly useful amp I think it took adding 4 resistors and 2 caps per channel. I deleted one cap and one resistor from the stock config though. The only thing that sucked about it, this amp is built on a 1960s circuit board. It required some relatively minor trace hacking to use cathode bias, and just working with those old boards in general is not a picnic.
