1962 Magnavox 8802 Resto-Mod Project
SunnyDaze:
I bought this amp from Ian (vstakrwell). Special thanks to Tom, Dan, and Mark for sharing their experience and skill in helping me complete this job.
Stuff I did: Replaced the .0047 and .047 coupling caps with .01 and .1 caps, respectively, added the kick-ass rhodium speaker binding posts, added additional RCA jacks for daisy-chaining, added a 30 amp rocker switch for power, changed all out of spec resistors, changed the output stage wiring to 10 gauge, changed the power wire to 10 gauge with a 3 amp fuse holder in line, added a Sunfire knob to the hum pot, added red Oak sides, put a detachable power cable on the rear panel, polished the chassis, and um... If I think of anything else, I'll add it.
This amp sounds AMAZING with the Klipsch KG 5.2s.
Slim-Shaddy:
