The counterpoint? They are external and are the metal package. I can’t get to them right now (A/C install) but I can later.

They do get plastic covers but they are the same metal can with two screws.

It uses the big metal case like the PL amps.

Not sure what their package is called

TO-3 or TO-204

Is there something so “irreplaceable “ about the devices they used? Seems to me, just get closely matched sets and replace them.

I wonder if all these years it was a scare tactic to send the amp back to Mike for “upgrade” (aka full gut-job and rebuild)

Don't worry...... There is plenty to go around. I did keep a couple cool items and a lucky dude will have a few things to experiment with.

Anybody need a very nice Wheatstone Bridge? It's in a sweet wooden case. Dovetail Joinery. I never used one but some hoarder HAS to want it. I could barely spell it. I like the old test equipment so it will go on the display shelf (after I get rid of some shit taking up space). I have another 3 meter 5 amp Variac in the middle of resto too. I just ordered new meter faces and got a 5 amp variac for parts. LIME GREEN Powder coating I'm thinkin......
