The Z designs I've looked hard at, are generally simple, with PI's owing to Vox, TB pre-amps owing to Pete Traynor, normal looking power and output sections...some of which are ultra-linear.
Thanks for that.
I find that old stuff fascinating.
Funny when I was growing up everything was tube powered. I would tag along with Dad when one of the tubes would go out in our Zenith B&W TV, he would pull them all out because he didn't know which one it was.
We would go down to the corner grocery store because they had a tube tester there.
He would plug them in one at a time and look at the meter. Green = good and red meant bad.
Then he would get the owner to open the cabinet below the tester and it would be stocked with the common tubes. Dad would pay 50 cents to one dollar and we would be on our way.
One time the picture tube went out on the Zenith. I was very young and I remember Dad swearing up a storm getting the old picture tube out.
I can't remember where he got it but he brought the new tube home and was walking through a doorway and caught the neck of the tube on the door frame and broke it. POP---Wooosh
I thought he was going to cry. But he sucked it up and swore some more and got in his car and left to buy another one.
Sometimes it might have been cheaper to have a tech come to the house.
But Dad always tried to fix things himself and I tend to be that way too.
