The Amp Garage

That Liverpool sounds amazing!! Great video Pete Thorn.

Yes that was my threat. I just saw that I uploaded the main pictures telling the story....

Yes. I remember that amp. I did a recap on it. Those blue Spragues is the serviced I did. The original orange Sprague filter caps had bubbles. I have a file full of the pictures of that amp.

Has anybody ever run KT66s in an Express?

Does it bias with normal secs or do we need to change resistor in the bias supply?

Thanks!!

Great job! I would love to hear this amp.

A video demo would be welcomed.

for me it has always been 38-40 mA. That's what I like to hear......

Great build quality! you should've dress it more like a real express!

I'm not an expert on that tube. I know it started in the late 70's and the variations. I told you everything I know. :) 2tone also added more information. I was buying those tubes and got all the different versions and I still have them but then I started hunting for the Hammonds. Many people starte...

I forgot to say....all those Russian 6P14P family dissipates 14 watts instead of 12 watts...
So ideal for VOX or Pro jr. or Rocket or any other amp that drives the EL84s hard.
They last!!!!

Here you go...... Sorry, my bad, no -M extension.... :( 6П14П / 6P14P; bog standard version, large thick glass = EL84, 6BQ5 6П14П-EB / 6P14P-EV; hardened version, longer lifetime = EL84M, 7189 6П14П-EP / 6P14P-ER; special quality, longer lifetime = E84L, 7320 (quite rare) 6П14П-K / 6P14P-K; hardened...

Rooster the EL84's I sent you were standard 6P14P. No extension -M or other. You can google it. There was an article I read a lot time ago where all the extensions were explained and they all had different specs. Ken preferred the commercial No extension. That was the tube that in the early 80's was...

I think the commercial sovtek 2tone is talking about is the standard 6P14P. There were like 5 different military types if I remember correctly 6P14P-M and other letters. They had different applications. Extended hours, microphonics, to be used upside down. I think Ken just preferred the ordinary 6P1...

I'm surprised there are no more comments about that missing link....

Oh well....

Who picked this up? I wish I could.....

super cheap!

I'm sure both transformers were grey Stancor A-3801 with 6k6.
As I said, Maybe Ken said that for people not to figure out his amps or indeed he decided to experiment and use 5k2 in 1 or a couple of Liverpools just to experiment or maybe because the buyer wanted a gainier amp. Who knows.
