      Good to hear that 6L6GCs work well at 360v in your amps. Parallelled cathode       resistors must result in less heat, nice solution.              My pair must be late production, serials in the 70xxx range, because they have       no voltage selector beside the fuse and no Bulgin power connector. Instead       there was just a hole for what I think had been an early IEC C10 plug. So I       could fit modern        grounded 3 prong IEC there without any drilling. It seems that Quad made some       different chassis configurations for different markets?       Im in two minds about the Jones connector. On one hand it looks retro funky.       On the other hand, it is less practical to use adaptors so perhaps it would be       best to put in phono sockets. I have already removed the internal HT       connections from the Jones        for safety.       The only giveaway that the amps have been modified is that I placed AC       switches where the fuse holders were. But they are old British chromed       switches and look contemporary. The fuses are now inside the enclosures.              Martin              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
