29GK6 amp for sale

Postby TerrySmith » Sun Nov 03, 2013 2:15 pm

This is a PP amp that is a very close clone of the ST-35 except this has a Hammond 270HX PT, 1650F outputs. Uses four 29GK6 tubes for outputs, 5HC7 (or 5HA7) drivers and 6AX3 rectifiers. The output tube filaments are series strung across the AC primary. An extra set of tubes will be included. There is no bottom cover. The extra transformer is a 25.2v 2a that is disconnected but you could use it to light the 29GK6's if you wanted to. The chassis is a 12x10x2 Hammond box.

It sounds very good, just like a '35 should. All tubes are functionally equivalent to the 7247 and 6BQ5 counterparts.

$250.00 shipping included! Lower 48 only or you can pick it up in Maryville TN!

I am the new owner of this amp. I wanted to say how happy I am with this amp and compliment Terry on his building prowess.

This IS the very best 6BQ5/EL84 I have ever heard bar none. I am an EL84 guy ... 6BQ5/EL84 amps are my favorites. I have an Eico HF-86 clone built with the original iron, a ST-35 clone 12AX7/12AU7 type and a custom built 6BQ5 amp with Stancor iron and a 6CG7/6GU7 x 3 input/ inverter front end (I use 6GU7's .... great tube) .... this amp is just better.

I don't know if it is the excellent taunt, defined bass from using damper diodes, the incredible midrange and highs from being able to afford/ use all NOS tubes or some intangible from the exceptional lay out and P2P wiring job ???? But, I could happily live with this as my only amp. I might see if he could build me a second one exactly like this but in a eye catching Ferrari red. (love)

By the way, I got a really good price, the amp was packed well enough to survive a nuclear attack and he shipped the amp very quickly.

Thanks again, Terry (wine)
