First post and flogging something.

On topic, but......

... Then it must be Image

Note, that even though it is presented as being a 6L6 PP amp, the PC board is clearly marked with "6V6". Oopsie.......

Image

Circuitry looks simple enough, so that "reverse engineering" can be accomplished easily from the final row of four photos...

It is. (already sussed it out)

Just think "K-502" or "K-12", but with bigger tubes...

I tried, but that didn't have the "spam" and "RAOTFLMAO" smilies

I copied the last row photos which showed the stuffed and loaded PC bpards.

It didn't take me too long to figure out the rather simple circuitry, after all with only 10 resistrors and 4 caps per channel, it wasn't too daunting a task. And two of the resistors (330 ohms and 1K, 3W) are connected in parallel to act like a 250 ohm resistor.

I suspect that a 12AX7 would be a better match than 12AU7 for the VA/PI circuit. I'll run it through Tube-CAD to determine which is better.

It's basically nearly identical the "K-502" or "K-12" schematic, just with different resistor values, bigger tubes, and no obvious NFB loop - at least its components are not on the PC board. Nothing fancy, nothing special, pretty much a "textbook" design with no originality.
