    KT88, KT90 or KT120

    Well, well replace the valves with some Sovtek KT88's, dont think the 90's or 120's are such a good idea afterall, but Ill let you know after the valves arrive if it needs more power, for what it is now there is not a lot of it overflowing. Should be a week or so.

    Gunter Steinhardt TVP 404 mains Transformer

    Long happy and sad story now -- I got it fixed, seems that the mains transformer actually does have such a low resistance. There was some load resistors that had issues and after replacing them it was working again 100% , even better than that is is a brilliant amp beautiful very very nice -...
