Ditto!
I, too, have Dave to thank for pointing the way off the beaten path to a bunch of fun finds.
Cheers, Sensei.

what's postage to Australia form where you are (fast and slow)?
Such a contrary bunch, you Aussies, insisting on living so far from the rest of us...
Looks like about $48 for airmail, $26 for surface.
the Sony Tapecorders have very nice TamRadio (ie Tamura) SE output transformers, suitable for EL84, 6V6 etc. They also have a 600 ohm tape which would make excellent drive for a sub amp (or to make a real balsy pre-amp)
Dave brings up an excellent point: Each of the reel-to-reel recorders I'm selling contains a complete stereo SE EL84 tube amplifier with the lovely Tamura OPTs seen in Dave's link above. I think there's a microphone preamp in there, too.
Listen to it as-is, or repurpose it. It's a perfect donor for something like the RH84 (search RH84 on this forum for lots of discussion).
Shipping is the only problem with these big tape units (they must weigh about 50 lbs.). But I'd be willing to help you get around that expense by pulling out the PS tranny and OPTs for you.
How does $90 sound for a complete set of great vintage iron?

Ah yes, but we're far from everywhere, which can sometimes be a good thing. When you get bored of going to Hawaii, then it's only a short hop further to get here (and we're so much cheaper and nicer😀).
I will have to consult with "the holder of the purse strings", as my old Sansui AU-X1 has just done a Chernobyl

Bill:
Can you give us the specs or model number and price on the Parts Express 120w Subwoofer amps (2)? I may be interested in picking both of these up from you. Shipping to 47136.
Thanks,
Ed

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
I built a very nice sounding 6aq5 se amp using these transformers. If I didn't already have too many irons in the fire...

$123 (US dollars) by air? Will PP on confirmation.
Correct. I'll pack 'em for shipment.
Thanks,

Interesting! Care to tell us a little more? Schematic?
I've been planning an RH84, but I could be diverted if there's something else mo betta...
Hi Bill,
I followed an old Radiotronics article and about the only things I changed were some of the capacitor values in the cathodes. Take a look at my site and drill into the 6aq5 amp and then circuits. There you will find the Radiotronics article, as well as, a few other circuits.
I use a small pair of Entergy speakers on stands and the sound in my office is quite good. Very detailed and crisp.
Best regards,
Danny

Ryan,
I don't think my emails are getting through to you. Check your spam filter.
I shipped your drivers Tuesday and emailed you a DHL tracking number. I received a successful delivery receipt for the email at 7:20PM.
Email me with another address if you'd like the tracking number resent.
Cheers,
Bill
