This has been collecting dust for a few years. I thought someone might want to take a stab at repairing it (there's a buzz in the audio outputs that a tube swap didn't fix) and continue to enjoy it. It served me well for many years as my tube (pair of 6SN7's) preamp for an Ayre V-3 solid state amp - they sounded great together. I upgraded a lot of parts inside, you can see the Jensen copper/oil 0.22uF caps, but you'll probably want to replace those big Hovland 5.0 uF caps - they were all the rage back in the early 2000's!

Or, you might want to gut it and use it as a chassis for your tube preamp design and maybe scavenge a part or two from it. I will include the original build manual as shown.
