Re: Lessons from my 800B experience

Vacuum Tube Valley also sells a good kit for the 800's - and it's not too hard to figure one out on your own with a schematic.

I have two 800B's - one's a nice working unit; the other's a candidate for restoration. I like the AM - FM dual display and simul-cast capability.

On the case front, good news is, the same cases that fit the 400's and 500's will accomodate an 800. And they all look great.

Also, the scope isn't so necessary for these kinds of repairs...but if you're in the Seattle area I'd be happy to help you out.

Good luck - I know these guys aren't super-audiophile quality sound, but they sure sound good, don't they? And they look great doing it. We should all be so lucky when we're 50 years plus, eh?
