Radio Craftsmen C500

Many years ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, I had one of these Radio Craftsmen C500 amplifiers.
5V4 rectifier, two 6SN7GTA and two KT66 in triode-strapped PP. 15 Watts RMS, response 10Hz - 50KHz.

Might be a worthy DIY project...

Quite a few articles have been written on "spiffing" up that design.
Here is just one of them
