have to play with something whilst researching the ant parts
el84 amp with a rectifier tube too. i will look into the carmen ghia conversion.

kind of nasty inside(not my pics but same) i see why people snag the transformers and the chassis/tube sockets as the starting point

ya 84 sry, i fixed it.. what a kludge inside. this one is from 1959 and doesnt even have screw terminals on the connector strip, they were all solder points. it is nasty. but not a ton of use so maybe the tubes and all clean up ok. i dont think i would still use any can type caps from that era. 50 years, wow

wonder why a goodsell 17 is worth $2500? it's a mod.
