Hammond AO-39 rebuild

[ab0ez]

Before and after mugshots of two 6BQ5 monoblock amp rebuilds in progress. If I can do this, anybody can!

Bottom line for new and aspiring tube amp gurus: Get a couple of cheapo amp chassis and go for it!

I've probably posted this pic before, but here is another pair of Hammond AO-39 chassis I built into a pair of septar socket QQV07-50 push-pull monoblocks.

The only limit is your imagination and dreams.

Good to see you too Frannie! Been up to my backside in alligators the last 6 months or better.

Nice looking amps. I like the ribbed look on the PT's. :yes:

Hi Jim, my popcorn's also at the ready. Will you be posting a step by step rebuild? Any proposed mods to the circuit?

I have an AO-68 (using 7591 output tubes) in my garage. I came across it again this evening and wondered, 'What'll you become?'
