Several years ago, I was given an unbuilt "NOS" Dynaco ST35 kit, by my Dad, who had it since the late 1960s, along with a few other Dynaco items, all of which in dire need of repair. FWIW, I still have the original shipping box, it alone is almost a "collectible" in its own right.
I ended up building the 35, keeping everything original, and then using it (the multisection electrolytic cap really needed re-forming, I did that prior to starting assembly).
What all this led up to, was my finding this site, and a rekindling of my hobby interests of decades ago.
Had I just decided to "unload" it on e-bay, who knows, I wouldn't be haunting the DIYTUBE site today Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_02 and I'd probably still be assailing my ears with a 30 year old POS Pioneer receiver...
Since all of this, I have acquired three other vintage ST35 carcii, which need new driver boards (alreany built them up) and new caps (I got the Cyrus Chong ST35 cap boards, and C-354 chokes for a REAL upgrade). Part of that deal was two superb MQ-565 OPTs, which went into a DIY35 rev C, along with "boutique" coupling caps. Now all it needs is to move into a new "house", I'll get one of the shiny new ST35 chassis when they become more available. Then it can look good as it sounds Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_02
