Anyway, back to tubes. This is a set of Ampex R2R. Bottom a pro mono 351; top a stereo consumer F44. For those of you out there that like 50's stuff, it was most likely recorded on the 351 deck. That...

Check this out, the C19 is a bit of a beast. Essentially a dual mono amp, 2 transformers & power supplies. HK is it's heyday. It's not difficult to take the covers off and look at those big & smaller...

Agree, there was a time when reading CD was a joy. Authors like PJ O'Rourke, some of Bedard's stuff, Brock Yates "Cannonball Run". "Letters To The Editor" where they would rip apart some of the...

You know, if the transistor equipment has regulators in the power supply, that's probably very accurate. Looking at the 19's schematic, doesn't look like it does. It's a fairly beefy piece of...

Agree, ones from the early to mid 60's can be quite nice, solid wood, no plastic in the cabinet. A Magnavox would definitely deserve a look. Some others had Fisher or Scott components in them.

Bringing the voltage up slowly allows the electrolytic caps to re-form prior to seeing the full operating voltage. Use a variac like the blue object in the attached. Mostly for the 19 power amp but...

Oh yeah, (hesitate to add this) later in '74, the back seat of that 62 was being used with regularity. Bob Seger's "Night Moves" still strikes a cord that makes me smile. :)

I was 16 and putting the finishing touches on my 1st engine rebuild- 62 Bonneville 389. Bored out the 389 to 400 (+.060), only regret was not putting in a somewhat hotter cam like an 067 or maybe...

That's true, excellent reading material. What's cool about that add is it shows a complete "Racing Crankshaft Kit" for the OHC 6's. When I bought the 2262's I also bought a ring kit, Performer...

Yup, that's where my 2262's came from around 87 and I think the price was similar. Receipt is long gone.

I had the 2262's with 62 heads in a stock set up not long ago. That combo was cam...

Yup, what's with the door panel colors? Is the interior black or blue? Looks black but it could be the photo balance, I guess. With an LS and the dash it should be labeled a resto- mod. The interior...
