Don't know the technical aspects of that amp. I've owned a couple of his ST-70's that were standard rebuilds in that the original circuit design was employed, EL-34, GZ34,7199 tubes
used BUT with choice of ultralinear or triode modes. He put one of those cool meters for biasing on the last one (black one in pics).So, the green pic is one he sent me years ago as he explored different ways to build and rebuild various ST-70's. I never heard or had it. He sent me a pic once of his shop where he had many different colored amps done and ready to sell. LOTS of color!
I'd have bought one of his more colorful amps, but WAF was mighty low on that.
Will's even more particular about how they sound/operate than how they look too!

Those all look like EL34's. There may be a coke bottle EL34. I am just not aware of it. I love the Stereo 70, but I share Eli's concern about the scarcity of 7199's. Of course there are a lot of solutions to this problem out there.

Couple years ago Will asked if I had some spares for him.
Luckily I did.
I'm sure he's tapped into more since; he has that talent!
I only used EL-34 amps from Will, but he did experiment with other configurations (such as that green amp).
Don't know if he still does, but he still makes HIS ST-70's.
