    WHERE TO SEND AN OLDER AMERITRON FOR REPAIR

    I was only looking for three matching M's got four for $85 delivered (although guess it wouldn't hurt to have the driver same as well). Will start looking for spare set now either L's or M's.

    WHERE TO SEND AN OLDER AMERITRON FOR REPAIR

    Carl has never charged me more than $30 and parts to fix amp. You might have to hunt a lot to find 4 matched NOS black cap 6MJ6's but could easily get regular 6MJ6's though.

    WHERE TO SEND AN OLDER AMERITRON FOR REPAIR

    Yea they have wire (rod) thicker than paper clip in C shape open end down and the two wires leaving closed end to cap. Regular ones have thin strip metal making like a M to connect to cap I had thought these were update of the other. Good to know the real story thanks.

    WHERE TO SEND AN OLDER AMERITRON FOR REPAIR

    Do you mean the actual cap (connection) top being black? Because I have a couple of M's (RCA's) that have black caps they are taller and skinnier than M's I have with shiny caps, also RCA's. I thought the difference was just when made but wondered if there might be other differences.

    Amp tuning

    After looking at pic in this thread again I see it just has screw, when I looked before thought it had knob and screw. Mine has knob where that screw is. So I'll adjust it to 30 DK and see if it swings. Thanks Fnkycoldnedina http://www.worldwidedx.com/amplifiers/32974-tube-amp-adjustment.html
