FS: DIY 2A3 SET amp, or for parts

[Saurav]

I've tinkered with this for many years, and I've recently switched from HE speakers to dipoles, so it's time to move in a different direction. The amp works fine and sounds good, but I'd recommend buying it only if you are comfortable working on it. I don't have a schematic, and there have been multiple mods made over the years, so there will be some reverse-engineering required.

Parts:

OPT: One Electron UBT-3
PS transformer, choke, heater transformers: Hammond
Caps: PS electrolytes are Nichicon, coupling caps are Russian surplus (I think teflon)
Tubes: Sovtek 2A3s (I have 2 matched pairs, one set is several years old, the other probably a couple of years old), JJ 5AR4 and ECC99s

The topology is pretty simple. It started as a schematic I found on the JE Labs website, then evolved from there. The PS is a common CLC section with (I think) a 10H choke, then RCRC for each channel. The ECC99s have a battery under the cathode, and are RC coupled to the 2A3s.

I probably have around $400 in the iron, I think I once calculated the whole amp to be around $5-600 in parts. I'd like $150 + shipping, OBO. Paypal preferred. All that iron is heavy, so the closer you are to Portland Oregon, the less shipping will be

Thanks for the interest. The amp is tentatively sold. If it doesn't work out, I'll contact the next person in line.
