Man, this should be in the HI-FI hall of fame. I would love to hear what it can do after you get it in working order.
Help me identify an amp
My father, who recently passed away, was an avid audiophile and very proud of his stereo. I’ve been taking inventory of his gear, and while most things are easy to identify, I can’t find any distinguishing marks on this power amp. Can anyone help me identify it? The power tubes are 8417s. Thank you!

Here’s a thread that contains photos of the original documentation. They would be worth downloading and saving should the amp need service: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/st-70-gsi-mod.324845/ It is probably in good working condition, but as others have said, it should be powered up slowly with a variac over a couple of days to allow the electrolytic capacitors to reform. If you’re not comfortable with this, you can probably find a local tech or even an experienced tube hobbyist who could do this and generally check the amp out. For further, more technical advice, Audiokarma is a good place to post that will allow you to communication more easily with someone who might be able to offer help. |
