Way cool Michael...dont forget to reinforce the windows!

 

[Codyjohns]

congrats Michael...
are you going to mod it?

Thank You
No I'm not going to mod it, I want to keep it stock as possible.

 

[Codyjohns]

Wouldn't that PRECLUDE someone from sleeping, let alone dreaming, up to 5 miles away?

I had to move all my gear to the basement of my house, I don't want to crack my neighbors windows.:Ohno:

What a killer video
Yes it look like someone tried to install a PostPIMV.
It also looks like someone changed the bias resistor values.
I need to go over the amp circuit to make sure it's all stock before I start cranking the Major up.

 

[Codyjohns]

I want to thank everyone for the kind words.

I'm very honored to be owning this piece of history, I'm going to treasure the amp till I die.

I like it in the basement a lot better, I can turn the amps up more without bugging my wife and kids.

I need to change the tubes and bias it up again. (it needs a little maintenance)

any idea what tubes you're going to put in there? majornut didn't trust CP KT88's in a demanding circuit like that and NOS has outrageous prices... you may want to consider the tungsol KT120's for this job...:

I have a set of KT88's from my KK2203 I'm going to through in for now.
Here's a link of the tubes.
KT88-STR TAD Premium Matched - TAD Power Tubes SELECTED

I got the amp with a blown power tube in it, which I knew it wasn't up and runnin' before I got it. After looking at it quick yesterday, it looks like the On & Off switch is blown. (Not getting any power in the amp).
I pray it's not the main transformer.
If it is, I have to have someone rebuild the input transformer or buy another one.
I'm just so busy right now, I haven't had enough time to take a multimeter to the amp to see what exactly is wrong with it.
I did check the fuses 10A & 3A and they are not blown and the right values.
I will get it up and runnin' soon.
If I have to spend hundreds on parts, it will take me longer to get it runnin' but I'm not going to cheap out on this beauty.

I wish you lived closer as well.

I'm hoping tonight I can figure out whats wrong with the amp and go from there.
