Re: Dynaco mkIII, which source for upgrades or rebuild parts?

66.74.72.231

chris,

I don't know the MKIIIs- and I've only scratched the surface of the arcane world of the PAS3 and ST70, but I think Triode Electronics and our friend Uncle Ned could make some suggestions and provide the pieces for your rebuild.

There are so many options for Dynaco, I've decided to take a very cautious modification approach. I have never heard an ST70 and plan to rebuild mine as stock first. once I determine there are deficiencies that I can solve, I'll make changes. I can see right away I will be replacing the qaud capacitor, bias and the RCA jacks need renewing anyway, so these can be a nicer kind. I have a replacement new stock main board that may or may not go in right away with modern lower tolerance compoents. There's also that ratty thin power cord!

But, as I say, my first round will be stock. Really, the sound of the old Dynaco is supposed to be good when everything is in order.

I do have several NOS 7199s, but also a few EF86s in case the main boeard goes to another type!

You may wish to look into the special Dynaco site at this site:

- and there are many helpful chaps with piles of experience with these amplifiers and every sort of modification.


Cheers,

Bambi B
