So just an update as I now have been messing with it for a while. I put in a couple 8 ohm speakers in it and have been playing a bit with it. I just ordered a matched set of GE 6L6's and am considering a NOS 7199 as well since I'm replacing the power tubes. I have loaded it with vintage preamp tubes, including an RCA and Tele 12ax7 for channel 1 and 2 respectively. Ordering some Emi Legend GB128's this week as well.
Couple issues.. When I flip it on, I hear some weird swirling vroom sound for a second. It stops, and the amp runs quiet after that. Then when switching back to standby, it pops really loud. Any thoughts on reasons why it is doing this? Bad caps or something?
