Hi Folks,
I am new here. I have not touched a tube since the 70's. Back then I used to collect old tube CB radios. I just picked up an electric guitar and would like to learn by building a tube amp.
It looks to me that parts are fairly cheap except for transformers. I live in Chicago, so there are lots of old businesses around here; I am thinking of going hunting around for an old TV repair shop that might sell/give me some old carcasses. Can anyone suggest particular models of TVs or radios (or other devices) that I should look for? I saw in one of the announcements for a board that a Dynaco SCA-35 is a good donor for parts.
Is this a good idea (scavenging), or is it more trouble than it is worth?
Thanks for pointers, and I look forward to "talking" with you.
Dan
