Croft Series X info

Posted by bcarlos (A) on July 17, 2023 at 06:18:07

Hi all.
I´m newbie posting and I´m finding some help. I´m doing this same question in other forums.

Two weeks ago I received from a friend a Croft Series X amp.
I can´t find any info on internet about this amp, and want to ask if somebody can tell me something about the schematic, tubes, etc..
I tested it and the volume is very low, I don't know if the tubes are what they should be and if they are in the right place (have 2 12AU7, 2 12AX7). This use 6080 tubes in the power section.

I send it to a tech guy and he tell me exactly "sell that, it is a circuit that demands a lot from the valves, it is very hot and since it does not have transformers at the output, the speakers are at risk".
I see the amp in original condition, very neatly and I would like to investigate well before making a decision. I would rather keep it if everything was fine.

Many thanks
