6CM6 SE amplifier

Posted by krankkall on March 4, 2017 at 07:29:17:
Just for curiosities sake, I reworked my original RH84 amplifier, to accept 6CM6 tubes.
I had a bunch of $5 NOS RCA and Sylvania black plates at home, so I may as well put them to good use?
Instead of rewiring the original sockets, I just replaced them with Japanese-made CCC sockets.
A few minor resistor changes (20 minutes with a soldering iron), and I was good-to-go!
Considering how inexpensive NOS 6CM6 tubes are (you do have to hunt around for them though), it's NOT a bad way to go.
