Hi all, was wondering if anyone would happen to know what amplifier this might happen to be as I don't believe I have ever seen one before, appears to be 2- 6LQ6 driving 5-24LQ6 configuration. Has a date on the inside of the unit as 1972 . Thanks

7-tube Maco 300 with the front panel missing. Seen plenty of them.

Were they really made that crude? I mean, the switch and lamp on the front as well as the soldering looks like it was made in someone's basement, complete with knobs from Radio Shack. Then again.....it probably was.

The 2057 and 8950 became expensive, so they strung the 5 24LQ6 tubes across the mains and used two 6Lq6 in series on the 12 volt heater.
Bam, cheaper tube replacement.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
