Full-Mod Magnavox 8802-00 Tube Amp FS, Recapped, upgraded, ready to go!

[GordonW]

It's done! And, it needs a permanent good home!

Here's the blurb that I printed up for it, for placard here at the store:


Magnavox 8802-00 Tube Power Amplifier (Circa 1959-1961)

Tube Complement: 2- 6EU7 input/phase inverter tubes, 4- 6V6GT output
tubes, 1 6CA4 rectifier tube.

Circuit type: Grounded-Cathode input gain and inverter stages, push-pull
cathode bias output stages.

Power output: 12.5 watts per channel nominal.

Acceptable speaker load: 4- 16 ohms per channel.

This amplifier has been upgraded with all parts necessary to insure safe,
stable, reliable high-fidelity operation. All capacitors have been replaced
or bypassed with modern film caps, and all circuit parameters have been
checked (and adjusted if needed) to insure operation to original specs or
better performance. This amplifier should easily out-perform one in original,
stock condition, due to minor circuit enhancements.
