If you could do that then I would be in for 2.

 

 

Looking for backup?  David is great guy, I can vouch for him.

 

I stand behind him as well...

I've been so fortunate over the years in this hobby with stuff - gifted, extraordinary deals and such - any loss is likely to be minimal in the big scheme of things (over time). And dare say, could almost be expected.

Hibuck......

 

I've had one of those for almost 5 years, and I was the first to add the Pseudo Dual Power Supply to a WA6 when it first came out.  It's a great little amp.

 What's the story with the tube with wires connected to the the top -- Is that the 596?   Is there a name that refers to that type of tube?     

 

Also, is that the rectifier tube? (is it for the power supply?)

 

Thanks!  beerchug.gif

That's the UEC 596 rectifier tube. It's a rectifier ;)

Those are anode wires connecting to the grid cap. Lower powered tubes usually have this construction internally, as opposed to external wiring. The USAF-596 is a powerful compact rectifier, and the external anode construction allows for more power in a smaller package; higher gain; better operation at higher frequency.

 

Additionally, designers had the foresight to include the "Cool factor" for later generations...wink_face.gif

 

If I misstated the facts, anyone, please correct me at once!

For maintenance/restoration, you can use water based metal cleaner/polisher like "Twinkle." Perhaps, $6 on AMZN...
