I got too many tube amps already, or else I am all over that.

looks like a 10 series Dual too. That would be a nice smaller console with some fresh grille cloth and some TLC.

Looks like I am getting another console, but this one will stay in one piece.

Here's some pictures of the Electra

ooh, its got that hybrid amp. I always wanted to play with one of those. ELL80 tubes driving a set of transistors.

Eh. I dunno. ELL80s sound like an expensive way to get transistor sound....

 

[gadget73]

yeah, they're not real cheap but if there is enough room you could always add another set of sockets and jab a pair of 6aq5 or EL95 tubes in there instead. Mostly I'd like to hear one, and then move it down the road before the germanium transistors explode. Me and solid state gear have a tenuous relationship.

I see what you are talking about just now. I only see 3 tubes in the amp section 2 of them is ELL80 and one is ECC 83. The tuner preamp seem normal with lots of tubes but at a hard angle, so can't really get to it without taking it down.

 

[gadget73]

its a hybrid amp. Solid state outputs with tube drivers. I think they're something like 60 watts. An ELL80 is good for maybe 12 a channel on it's own. Its a good sounding 12 watts though.

Old germanium transistors. Those things have a sound all their own. I've only heard one Fisher hybrid console, but it was a sweetie.

 

[jameswei]

You mean its a good thing?

 

[gadget73]

as long as you don't blow the transistors. They're not super easy to get hold of these days, and they are a bit fragile compared to later transistors.
