Rusty IIC+ transformers and the high price they are bringing

[Boogiebabies]

What is up with these rusted out IIC+'s bringing $ 2000 and $ 3200 on
E-Bay? The tolex combo's PT was actually pitted.

I smell the fear of rotten trannies!!!!

Whats up with that?

Time to break out the denatured alcohol and the toothbrush.


Apply, wipe, pray then paint with two coats of shellac.

Hey ol' buddy! Where have you been?! Check your PM box!!

Ciao Nicko !!!!! My Italian Boogie brother.

Good to hear from you. I've been laid up with a stomach virus. It has been murder!!!

I have 5 NOS RFT's in hiding. They are beyond superb in these amps.
Try one in your PI and the amp will sound HUGE!!!!!

 

[snowman3000]

Yeah!! I know those 'kin' tubes!!! I have tried them just to experimet things and those RFT f**** blew me away!! Ei are also very good!!

Have you ever tried RFT EL34 tubes?! THEY'RE OUTSTANDING!! (They're Siemens)

BTW Hope you're better now! **** 'kin' virii

 

[Boogiebabies]

No RFT EL34's, but I do have 8 NOS Siemens EL34's and two Mesa labeled.
I dont think they are too safe to run in IIC+'s due tue the plate voltage being over 450. I am going to try them in the RK and the MK IV.

High Plate Voltage like JJ E34L?! On my export C+ i have a quad of Philips 6L6s.....They're absolutely amazing.

The WGB is more like a 5881. It is a great NOS tube and a real value.

Hey, if someone wants to give me $3000 for my IIC+ I'll happily sell it.

There will allways and issue trying to sell a "Gain Boost" over a "Pull Deep". The line is too fine for the "Gain Boost" to be an upgrade.
