I have a couple sets of nos RCA 6GH8A's on hand from back when I used to do jukebox amps

Going to stick to a 2 tube 6GH8A type board upgrade and I think the selenium rectifier replace/upgrade kit.. this amp is going to be used to drive my altec HF horns, they don't need much power so this amp will not be working very hard, maybe replace the RCA input jacks with new and add binding...

On the board I am leaning with the one that uses 3 6GH8 tubes and eliminates the original selenium rectifier

Not sure which EL 34's I will go with I have read either the russian mulards and the JJ's go real well in these I'm going to do a board conversion so I can just plug the 6GH8 tubes in without using adapters to run 7199s that are crazy prices for them can replace the board and a couple 6GH8's for...

I am going to replace the control board have ot made up my mind yet which one I will go with but one that uses the 6GH8 tubes. I did not put that voume control on it came with it I might get rid of it, I did replace the quad cap from one I got from Dynakit as well as the power supply caps I got...

The money they were after were 45 rpm record sales. Like a printer or a razor, they sell the printer or razor cheap they make their...

Thinking of getting a tube amp to drive my Altec HF horns. Right now I am driving them with a Crown D45 amp. The horns do not need a lot of power to drive them 25W is sufficient. I really don't want to spend over $500 for one. Looking at maybe one of these Reisong good looking little sucker. or...

Well did a couple more 45 players up, one custom...

Here are a couple vids of them in action... LU-1 Another LU-1

Yea it's a Seeburg 200 select juke mech out of my library unit LU-1

lol I have totally disassembled many of these including this one.... doing those 45 players led me into doing jukeboxes right now looks like I have to make a minor adjustment on this one but to get to it I am going to have to pull the carriage off (thats the rack that holds all the records)

Here P 188 Here is a pic of one of my other 45 players servicing it now...

You will need the rubber motor mounts as well they come in that kit yours will be shot and are critical for the idler wheel to run on the platter most I have seen the rubber mounts have completely deteriorated.... also you will want to check the wires coming out of the transformer many times the...
