Re: 7189 compatibility

Posted by Dave U on April 28, 2000 at 08:00:38:

I bought an old SE 7189 amp mainly for the transformers in the interest of building a new SE amp.
Can I blindly use the power/output transformers and build a EL84 design? Assuming of course they use the same rectifier/preamp tubes?
And if I do this, can I use the 7189 tubes or would I need to get some el84s?
Some how I doubt life could be so simple and I realize this wont be a true SET but I am poor and this seems like a good place to start.
Thanks for any help
Dave
