This is exciting and they aren't even my amps!

well fellas, after about an hour of listening, one of the repaired ones started sputtering again

I had to swap tubes from her into my spare(my avatar), sofar, sogood. Some real good news, instead of travelling an hour and a half, I've found a fellow 15minutes away from me that runs a shop out of his basement: http://www.mcalisteraudio.com/ I spoke to him on the phone last night and he seems like a nice guy, I'm gonna bring the sputterer to him this Thursday! soundt/afro.gif

Oh no Greg, that must have been so disappointing! After all that to have it go plbbtt again...
Hopefully this new guy can get her going for you.

cableguy, tweren't me that purchased kelly's KLH's...

Well they are sweeet looking, Greg, and bet they sound so also soundt/twothumbs.gif

yeah, cableguy Bill, I got Kelly's big KLH's. Doing some careful tinkering with them... soon to post about it.... thanks!

the local tech(Peter) replaced 8 resistors and 5 caps, and rewired the OT for 8Ω. Also included a minor mod to simplify bias adjustment. Taught me how to bias and balance too. Total parts were $55, labour $50(done in 2 days). I just finished rewiring my spare amp's OT for 8Ω as well, gonna fire them up here as soon as the wife is done watchin the toob! soundt/afro.gif

BTW, I think I'll be bringing the other one to him next pay.

well, they haven't caught fire!! LoL!!
