Hows it coming? Its all done. My second Dynaco ST-70 is totally restored, it was done in July. I replaced all the capacitors, including the quad cap except I installed the upgraded cap at 80/40/30/20uf instead of the stock 30/20/20/20uf. I also replaced the selenium rectifier with a diode and the 2 bias capacitors. I presently have 6L6's in it with a 5R4 just to experiment a bit. It kicks A$$ with the 6L6's/5R4 and EL34/5AR4.
I rebuilt 2 ST-70's in July, I hate to say this but 2 more is coming in the mail sooner or later, its been over a month, I hope I didn't lose my $$$.
EDIT: I received a call today (10/1) from the seller and he gave me the UPS tracking number, delivery should be Wednesday October 3rd.
Saturday I missed out on a PAS-3X on Craigslist.org, 20 miles from my house for $10.00! Like the movie, it must have been gone in 60 seconds...
I do have a PAS-3, 3 PAT-4 and 1 PAT-5 preamp in my dungeon...
I had 2 ST-70's and a pair of Dynaco A-25's and KLH model 6 speakers connected to the amps through 1 preamp playing some tunes, my ears are still ringing...
Regards,
Sal
PS: After the recap the tubes the plates no longer turn red...
