Anticipation...

Red,

Come on Red! You got that BEAUTIFUL Pilot (EL-84) Amp and your disappointed ? Surely you jest (and don't call me Shirly). Congrats on a FANTASTIC find! Oooh, just yesterday, I "detailed" my PILOT 5A402 (EL-84)
Amp (from an old Console). Tis' a shame I SNAPPED the glass Face Plate in two when I first received the Amp. Arrrrrrrrrr....at any rate, it cleaned up beautifully and I can't wait to get her up and running. Good luck.

Regards,
SixCats!
 
Output transformers aren't the greatest on that receiver... I have measurements around here someplace - I had a junker chassis a few years back, but it's gone now...

On the plus side, I do have a scan of the 602 Sams folder that somebody sent me - email tbavis(at)rochester(dot)rr(dot)com
 
Thanks for the offer, Tom. As luck would have it, this one came with the original manual and schematic!
 
Yeah, but with a purple towel and a plant in the background, I could make a lump of cat turd look good! :D

I'll take the Pilot over the cat turd, though...
 
Wondered that myself. Really crappy ones, apparently.

Actually, the console was made so it could be "loaded" with fully built speakers - three-ways in boxes. Unfortunately, this one was loaded with cheapies.

Use it as source material to build a vintage wood case for the receiver, plus you'll likely have enough leftovers for other things too.

Besides, they just don't make wood like that anymore these days... :pawprint:

There is someone out there dying to get his hands on that cabinet. I just don't know who.:D
The receiver seems like a well built piece, seperate AM/FM gangs, nice layout, lotsa' inputs. I think you did good.
I'm sure you can find a buyer for the Gararrad, if you want to part with it. All-in-all, good score!
