Dynaco rebuild
« on: May 01, 2010, 03:19:09 PM »
Here are some pics of the R&R of the Dynaco that NATOE (Pete) is doing for me.
He completely gutted the thing and replaced almost all of the original components.
I'll let him run down what he's done.

The build is not finished so stay tuned for more photos!

What I did was spend a lot of AL'S money :o.  Really Just take it all down and start over the only thing that will be original is the chassis and transformers and screws everything else will be brand spankin new.

Thanks again Pete for your fine restoration work.
I can hardly wait until Saturday.  We'll be featuring it at the club meeting. :D

Looks outstanding!  And you know, it's the little things.  Look at the twisted wires to help reduce potential noise.    The new improved IC board also adds to the noise reduction.  It should sound excellent!  I'm looking forward to hearing it!

Regards,

Well, Yesterday's feature of the Dynaco gear at the shop was a blast!
OCCD tested all the tubes and found that the 7199's had very little life and
provided replacements. Thanks Tom!

Everything performed beautifully, and sounded just incredible.
I cant say this enough either - NATOE did a wonderful restoration job;
I couldn't be more pleased with his work. I could not have done this without him!


I havent yet decided where I'm going to put the gear, but I just
had to get another taste.

I excitedly hooked everything up today on the dining table and it was
every bit as impressive at home with the Jamo Towers. Now i've got
to find it a permanent home.


I couldn't resist taking some long exposure pics to capture the glow!  ;D
Not too bad for a dinky little sanyo camera!

Beautiful looking unit.  I'm sure it sounds as good as it did 30 years ago.  NATOE, great job. Very neat and tidy. 

As far as the cats, keeping the cage on will only tease them into getting onto it, they feel the warmth of those tubes, those glorious tubes.  Take the cage off, no place to plank their ass!!

Congrats on the find.
