TRK-3488 is designed as a tribute to the 15th anniversary of the Triode Corporation Japan.
We look forward to making a return to the basic values of the triode TRK series as originally debuted. The concept is a Class A design that can use either EL34 or KT88/6550C to enjoy the splendid sounds. This amp automatically adjusts its bias system.
The contents of this kit is complete. Just solder the components to the printed circuit board, install the chassis wiring board and you’re almost done. Tip - all input, and volume control wiring are pre-wired. Average time of creation is 5-6 hours.
Kiwame resistor or Vcap upgrade is available.

Does anybody know how I can get one of these in Norway? Or, how much transport will cost me if I buy from Canada?
Thanks,

Thanks vKung (and also thanks for your pm)
Do you know the name of the Norwegian distributor? I haven't found any and they are not listed on the webpage of Triode Corp. I have spoken to the company that Triode Corp lists as their distributor in Sweden, but they no longer sell Triode equipment.
I have also tried the Danish distributor, but they seem to no get hold of the trk.3488 model.
Thanks again!
all the best,
Dyrevennen.

Yes, I get premission from Triode Japan. I can provide to you. The amp will ship from Canada via EMS.
If you want Vitamin-Q oil cap, I have Vitamin-Q in stock.
Thanks

Capacitor and Resistor Upgrade
Hi Victor,
What is the cost for the capacitor and resistor upgrades?
Thanks,

Hi Bob
Vitamin-Q (4 X 0.1) + Resistor = $155.00
Vcap (4 X 0.1) + resistor = $300.00
This amp is cap rolling ready..
Thanks

Still available?
Victor, do you still have any of these? Would be interested in current price including Kiwame resistors and Vit Q caps.
Also, interested in the volume control upgrade for the Elekit 879s.
PS. I noticed on another forum that someone asked about using the KT120s in the Elekit. I used them for about 5 months with no problems, then one of them died suddenly accompanied by a loud hum. No harm to the amp, I think the tube was bad. I put my previous Russian Tung Sol 6550s back in - they definitely are my favorite for sweet sound with a good short-plate 12AX7 - but they also lack treble and are boomy/loose in the bass. Following that I went back to a Sovtek 12AX&-LPS plus matched cryo SED KT88s, where I have since stayed. After that rolling adventure I see no point in the KT120s compared to KT88s for the 879.

Yes, I have both items in stock. The price is the same. I have 2CP601 A100K volume pot in stock for TU-879S ($42.00).
It is worth to have a pair of RCA 807.
Thanks
Victor

I am interested is purchasing one of these kits. I live in Australia, but will be in Japan for the next 5 days. Is there somewhere to purchase direct in Tokyo, or a distributor for Australia? Does the PT have a tap for 240v?
Cheers,
Joel
