Actually, maybe you all can help identify another mystery amp. This one appears to be an amp made by Dale Pitcher (sp?) while working at a company named "Essence", but I don't see this one listed on the Bluebook site.
Any one familiar with this one?

I don't know where you're located, but it would be a good idea to have someone knowledgeable about single-ended triode amps take a look at it before you start sticking tubes in it. As someone else mentioned, it could be intended for a 300b, a 2A3 or 45. At the very least, if you post a detailed photo of the underside, some of us may be able to identify the circuit and the possible tubes based on the obvious connections and component values. Or maybe your dad only had some 300Bs, in which case that's probably what they were for. The trickier part is the input tube, it could be any number of 9-pin tubes. Don rarely stuck to one particular design. |

dogearedaudio: Good advice! My plan is to have all my dad’s old equipment inspected by a shop in town known for high-end audio. As far as the tubes go, pop had a collection of all kinds of tubes, as well as schematics for most of the equipment, fortunately, but I'll try to get some additional photos this weekend. Hopefully I’ll be able to get it all up and running at some point, but for now I just need to inventory all of it for the estate probate process. csmgolf: Thanks for digging that up! That’s helpful! |
