got an amp 102aa off the bay. its a biamp stereo unit. (2) PP 6v6 for the lows and 1 SE 6v6 for the highs per channel all on one amp chassis. looks like a real simple rebuild with only a few coupling caps and one multisection lytic.

so i needed more 6v6 to choose from to feed this amp. man, i hit paydirt and found one of my bins with more stuff from the old radar lab. (22) original tung sol top getter 6v6's and 9 other ww2 era NOS 6v6 tubes. :banana::banana:

looks like i'll be doing some testing and setting up all my 6v6 amps with real deal tung sols!

I used to have that exact model of amp - wish I still did. I happen to hear the dual monoblock version of this amp the other day. It was hooked to a set of klh's bypassing the crossover. One of the best little systems I have ever heard. I would love to try that with a set of altec 19's.

Let me know what you think!

ke4mcl, the actual amp I had was the 182BA. I believe we also have the sams photofacts if you need a copy.
 
Yeah, I don't think the 182AA (ke4mcl's amp) and 182BA (Cricket's amp) are all that different. If I could find the Sams I'd check and see which one it's for but I guess it's down in the basement with the amp.
 
it would be nice to have the schematic on hand in case something goes wrong.

i have a set of the mono blocks in my concert grand that i rebuilt and a second set of the mono blocks i swapped for awaiting rebuilding. this stereo amp is sitting on the bench now and will hopefully be done by this weekend.
 
what year is that? it looks very similar to my 81-01

I'll look for the Sams and scan it. I know it's here somewhere since I remember looking at it to figure out how to hook a separate tube crossover to it.
 
are those OPT's pentode or UL?
I also noticed a second set of opt trannies under the hood. Right?

Been awhile since I have looked at one of these.
 
somebody got a schematic? i might be able to get this amp running tonight and need the tube lineup pronto before i leave the house so i can take the needed tubes with me to work.

which is also quite similar to my 8102 that I just picked up from Sparksaflyin.

It came with a schematic for an AMP 182 in gif format which I am unable to upload in a clear readable format and will not be home until late tonight. I could email to you if you PM me your email address if you still need it. The 8102 is supposed to be very similar to the 182.

This will be a summer project for me so I will certainly be interested in how it turns out for you!
