Re: Hoyt Axton Dumble pics
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.

Re: 6550 tubes in a Express
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!!

Re: Best tubes for the Rocket
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...

Re: Best tubes for the Rocket
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!!!!

Re: Best tubes for the Rocket
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...

Re: Best tubes for the Rocket
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...

Re: Liverpool Output Transformer
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.
