re-discovered old tube amps.

Postby sloober » Tue Jan 01, 2008 7:17 pm

Back in about 1984, my school decided to get rid of all the old junk they had lying around in the AV room. The laid the stuff all over the floor and put cheap prices on it. None of it sold, and rather than have to deal with all the heavy stuff, they let me and a buddy haul it off for free. Being in a band, we needed amps and stuff and just sort of took whatever we could find.
Some worked, some did not, but we kept it all. We never had much luck with someof it because there was no easy way to find info, like today with the internet.
eico, altec, dynaco, fisher....
here are pictures of the haul.

Most are working, am slowing powering up the Dynaco now.
