Welcome all!
This is a build i've had in the works for awhile now.
A salvaged power amp from an old Univox 1236 with re-done power supply, and the Transformers from a Univox.
BUT, the Preamp is totally different.... I'm using 6AC7's. No, I don't mean 6CA7's, i mean 6AC7 the old school high gain eight pin tube that was used in WWII aircraft radio's. Best part is NOS 6AC7's are $3 a pop.
Also going to have orange tolex, black metal faceplate, and my signature, an absurd number of strategically placed handles. No one strap handle on top of an old 70lb Amp here!
Enjoy!
Handles:
Recessed handles and chassis
Chassis with turret board and tape, ready to be marked out and drilled.
The three tubes:
I'm using three 6AC7's, one as the first gain stage, one as the Treble boost/cut, and the third is the Phase Inverter. (Five pictured because I bought five just to be on the safe side)
And my two coke bottle Chinese 6L6GC's.
I also found a stash of Thomas Organ Solid State VOX Era style knobs out in the knob bin that will be used on this thing.
Questions? Comments? Flames? Post away!
Thanks for reading.

) And the dual 6L6GC's could definitely do 50w, but i'd imagine with the old style (Read: underdesigned Univox) power supply it'll probably be closer to 40-45w. Still plenty of headroom for what it will be doing.
