Dynaco MK III volume control

I am looking at getting the Dynaco MK III mono amp, but there is no volume control on it. For me,that would be handy as the other amps , some that are bi-amped can easly be adjusted. Of course I can put a pre-amp in between,that is if I get one, and have control that way.
Still I wonder if a volume control can be put in the Dynaco MK III and if there are any schematics for installing one?

You sure can install a volume pot HFC, and other than making a hole for it, it's darned simple.

For a mono amp, you'll use a mono, log (audio) taper volume pot. Pretty much anything between 100k and 250k will probably work fine.

The mono pot will have three contacts--one is for signal into the pot, one is for shunting signal to ground, one is for connecting to the grid of your gain tube.

That's really all there is to it.:thmbsp:
 
Thanks for the info, I ordered two audio taper volume pot's 100k, I'll give it a try, finally found some good info [schematics] on all the different pot's and ways of installing one, should be fairly easy.
