Wow I have never actually seen on like this. I have read about them mostly in Europe where they have 220+. Usually someone on an insanely low budget using nothing but scrap or recycled parts. They did not even use spring clip for the anode connector they soldered the wire right to the cap. I mean their is building to a price point then their is just being cheap! I would love to see what it's signal looks like on a scope. I am guessing that if they where that price conscious that they prob. made compromises in every single section and with every part?!?! Have you had a chance to hear your own signal yet or gotten any feedback from people you talk to regularly? SO do let us know how it performs in real life!! I can make un-informed guess's all day but that does not mean much at the end of the day. If you have nice clean power in your area it might be fine but if you have noisy dirty power with lots of surges and ripples and such it would reek havoc on that type of design.
I was looking at that fact as well. The line cord looks like a piece of shielded cable, not rated for 120V.

ok so far im seeing 350w out of it with 18w into it. haha it is sorta weird uhm when its on i am not having the cover off.
it looks like the tubes are 38kd6?
are you saying this amp is junk?
more in the evening when locals get on ill see how it sounds to them.
The potential to see line voltage on the case in the event of an internal fault is greatly increased.
120V is not a good voltage for the human heart. Your chances of surviving a shock are less than if you encounter a higher voltage.
If you want to keep and run the amp, I would make sure that the cord ground is intact and that it is connected to a proper 3 wire circuit.
Not really junk, just not as safe as other amps.
sounds like a fun amp to keep you on your toes, or knock your socks off, whatever comes first.
