    Default Tubes. The electrical kind

    Just finished a project. This was an old amplifier out of a circa 1955 Magnavox console. Replaced all the caps and resistors and updated the circuit some. Then made it look half way respectable. A full 12 Watts of power.

    First pic is cleaned up and the starting point.

    Nice job, Jerry. Looks good.

    I have an old Zenith Transoceanic radio that was my Dad's, and his Dad's before. One of these days I want to clean it up and get it operational again. I have a pretty good size box full of NOS tubes I acquired and have been sitting on to see if any are usable for it. And if I can find it, I have a tube tester around somewhere. Maybe this year sometime...
