Does anyone know vintage SE tube amp XAM Mark 2B? It uses el84/6bq5 and ecc83. I guess it was builded in late 60es. I can't find any info about the manufacturer on internet. javascript:smilie('

I have owned 2 of these. One was branded Silvertone, the other XAM. Great little SE amp. I replaced all resistors and caps in mine. Huge soundstage for a claimed 4 watts. Probably 2 1/2 to 3. I cannot tell you where they were manufactured or by whom. Have fun with it.
My recollection (a little fuzzy, but usually good) is that XAM was a house brand of EJ Korvette - a department store chain in the New York metropolitan area. Supposedly, the chain was started by "Eight Jewish Korean Veterans" - probably not true.
Through the sixties, at least, they were generally one of the least expensive places to buy albums, and they carried a fairly decent selction of equipment.
