The owner was kind enough to deliver the stereo without charging me for gas and he also gave me an early '70's portable stereo 8-track player/radio; so, I didn't attempt to talk him down on the price and I gave him the $50.
I hate to think, that I was wrong again, regarding the amplifier. Unless there is a sub-chassis, with the pre-amp stages, the left and right channel tubes should be 6BM8's. There's nothing wrong with that, AFAIC.
The output transformers for the left and right channels are a little skimpy, but surprisingly, they did a good job.
Thanks for the pictures. As the old saying goes: One pictures worth a thousand words.
