I bought one of those with a bad damper diode. It was under a year old.
The original owner wanted a sizable price, so I wanted to see how well it worked. I took a 6AU4 tube, test clip leads and a 6 volt transformer to test it before I bought the proper replacement.
Man, what a picture! Replaced the diode, the new one was two clipped together.
I used the set for two years and sold it for $200 after replacing most of the 5GH8's
Mine was the more deluxe walnut cabinet model.
