I almost bought a pair of Mark VI's in the early 80's, but they did not have a reputation for sounding all that good, and I could not verify the condition. It sure was a cool looking amp. I wound up with a pair of Mark IV's. At the time I knew nothing about iron. I was just trying to get into tubes on the cheap. It probably would have been too big a project for me.

Dave, I did the same thing with a pair of Mark IIIs. I found two really beat ones for about $20 for the pair. I bet it took over 10 years before I decided to get them running. One was missing a PT. I did find an original Mark III PT but probably should have just bought a Triode Electronics PT or Allied.
My Fisher x101 suffered similar PT failure and I just used an Allied. It is too big if I want to add a case but it works great built in my TV hutch.

KT-88/6550's in UL give some serious power!

Driver on the Mk VI sucked. IIRC they use a 6AN8 input for the four 8417s.. The amps were powerful but the power supply was pitiful.
The MkVI never really entered the consumer market as Dyna folded before actual distribution ever took place I remember seeing them sold as kits in the back pages of various magazines for many years. I have the feeling that Dyna had not really finished full development of the amp when they sold out.
That would have been Stereo Cost Cutters/Sound Values Inc. in Columbus OH. The bought the inventory when the last owner of Dynaco, ESS Inc., liquidated the assets.
