Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: Is it possible that the tubes are getting weak?

I have not responded because I have been busy doing a sympathetic restoration, plus one channel was down


now does anyone want to trade me some 7868 valves, I have a bunch of tubes including gm70 matched pairs I will be selling off and LOTs of 6v6

I don't have money to allocate to this project so need to sell or trade stuff.

Now I will say after pulling the 100uf cap that feeds the finals I put in very hi voltage 1200v "DC link" type, its no longer grey and limp but becoming a dynamic tube amp its better then the other fisher I had.

I plan on squeezing some russian ssg type in a few coupling areas,this 400 looks ruff on the surface but inside is like bran new! I also installed a 25watt variable resistor for biasing the tubes.


Now if the amp didnt come alive, then I would have made it work for 6v6 bu t the 7868 tube is OK
