Those look like nuded Russian Teflons?
Care to expand on the other interesting looking parts? I’m assuming Russian mil stuff?
The red caps?
No, FT-3 (ФТ-3) caps not nuded, this teflon film is used to isolate the metal housing of the capacitor from the chassis. Red caps it's a Siemens mkp.Those look like nuded Russian Teflons?

Hey guys. I'm new, so please be nice to me. I inherited a bunch of gear from a buddy that is using his new baby as an excuse to get out of the hobby. I only know bits and pieces of the history of this gear, but he built everything except the preamp. He ordered high rent components from the US and traveled frequently to Hong Kong, where he got a lot of the components. I intend to play primarily vinyl classical music on this system and my initial testing, just hooking my iPhone directly to the amps sounds pretty awesome! I pulled the trigger on a LITE GA-31a phono preamp and am on the hunt for a decent vintage turntable and MC cartridge now (since I left my Thorens TD-125 at my dad's house long enough for him to throw it away.) It's nice to meet you and I look forward to learning more about the hobby.
Without further adieu, the pictures...
Welborne Labs Ultrapath bp pre-amp
The batteries are dead, so I need to replace them. Pretty interesting design to run it off of direct DC.
Jack Elliano design Direct Reactance Drive mono amplifiers (from VTV Issue 14)
Not sure of the origin of the crossover design. One per speaker obviously.
Not sure of the origin of the speaker drivers, but he said they are hand wound and the original plans for the speaker cabinet were taller than this. Composite cabinets and filled with some heavy damping material. There is also a distinct left and right speaker due to the differences in beveling on the left and right edges of each speaker.
