Safety

Valve chassis: HT rails stay live after switch-off; never power up on original electrolytics. Check the output transformers and the power transformer for overheating - replacements are unobtainable.

How this model is dated
01 / Witnesses

What applies here

Marks that can be entered for this maker: Model / catalogue number, Model / catalogue number, British capacitor code (Hunts, Mullard), Japanese capacitor code (Nichicon, Chemi-Con, ELNA), EIA component code.

02 / Bounds

The model year is a floor

The introduction year is not documented, so the model narrows nothing.

03 / Value

What moves the price

Sold-price aggregates are not collected yet, so the archive gives no figure — condition, originality of the transformers and a documented recap move this model more than any list price.
