Got them for a fair price. I'll post impressions compared to the Mullard M8100's and the WE403B's when I get them.

It's easy to fix, though... bake the transformer for 1 hour at 120 degrees Celcius, while hot, dip the entire transformer to a varnish material like Dolphon AC-43 (about 40 bucks per gallon) and air cure for 24 hours. |
