RE: Hey Mikey - S-1000

The S-1060 was the one I was thinking of with SIX EL84s. S-4000 was a single pair in P-P.

Looks like the original S-1000 was 1957, at least that's when Sams covered it in 345-1. 12AX7s, 12AU7 driver, 6L6GBs. Output tubes and transformers were on the back of the chassis.

Sams shows a revised version in 390-10 (early 1958) as S-1000-II, still with 6L6s, now slanted, with a 6BA8 triode-pentode driver.

And then there's my OTHER brother Darrell, I mean another S-1000-II, with the quad EL84s. It's in Sams 441-14 (1959), and there's a copy of that at Radiomuseum.org. The one I had used a 6BA8 driver, but they may have used the brand new 7199 as well.

And if that's not confusing enough, there are versions of the S1000-II with a pair of 7591s and another with a pair of 7868s. At least they went in another direction with the S-1000-III, with two front panel mike levels and maybe a line output (there's one more speaker tap than they needed for 4-8-16)
