Eico's Owner Group

I have an HF-89A which I rebuilt. Here is a blurry picture of it.

So far the circuit is stock, except for the capacitors being a bit larger than the originals.

That amplifier deserves a better cheesecake photo, you know? ;-)

 

[DFaulds]

HF60's, HF22's, HF30's, HF87, 1 HF35, HF81, HF85

 

[the_nines]

ST-70 here.

Just a great sounding amp, period!

:thmbsp:

 

[Westy56]

HF32 here.

 

[gkargreen]

got a pair of HF-30's, a ST70 and a single HF-20 just picked up, hoping to pair up that '20...

 

[ferninando]

2 Eico HF12s modestly refreshed, cleaned chassis, new paint, polished brass front panel
and 1 in the wings ready for works.
HF85 as previously posted.

we should have an Eico forum.
like that'll ever happen.

Hey
87 here. Supposedly it's been through nos valves.

 

[drtool]

Eric any under the hood shots? Have you sent the SN# to NOS valves and ask if it was under their care? My friend has one playing a pair of Focals, very nice.

...we should have an Eico forum.

You may know that the Yahoo Eico group has been talking migrating to AK or similar. That would suit me as I find the Yahoo group format outdated and limited.

 

[ferninando]

well I terminated my yahoo acount. they started sending ads to my non yahoo email
so I dumped them. never used it anyway.
Yahoo that is.

 

[Dandy]

That's been pretty much my experience. Whenever I posted by email it displayed my private email and when I tried to log ont the forum, there was always a problem with the password (probably because I didn't use it much).

Eico owners here could just use this thread for specific queries/reports.

 

[iplagolf]

Eico, a face only a mother could love…ST-40 here. Stamp shows January 1963, original Mullard tubes with all up dates. Smooth!

Hey doc.
I'll try and get more pictures. No I never did check with nos.
Yes it is a pretty sweet sounding amp. I bought it from a guy on audiogon or u.s. audio mart I can't remember. I've always been happy with it. Eric

 

[ferninando]

dandy, maybe we could treat it as a ''sticky'' so it will always be visable.
relying on the thread to be there mite be kinda iffy.

 

[Dandy]

It would be good if others could comment on the idea of this being a sticky for general or technical Eico posts, at least to give new members with Eico queries a place to find others on AK. Mhardy, as a major Eico supporter, what do you think? (The opposing argument is that Eico queries can be found with a simple search.) Any thoughts from the moderators?

 

[s-petersen]

I would like to see it under the manufacturers links,after-all, they probably turned out more (audio)equipment than many

 

[ferninando]

yes I would too but there too many against more manufacturers
so I thought maybe a sticky mite be more acceptable to them.
anyway I doubt anything will ever come of it.
We are in such a minority.

 

[drtool]

Remember when someone post in AK, anywhere, on AK, the Googler will find it. That is one of the problems with the Yahoo forum club. It is in ninja mode. Packard Bell,Eico, easy to find in the tube section.

 

[Kegger]

If it makes sense yes I can make this a sticky easy enough?'
(I posted this just before the server issue last time as well)

Doesn't make it it's own Eico forum, but will always be accessible from within the tube forum.
