I wonder what that is? Looks like a linear amp or something. Hefted
it off the shelf and saw it was an old Dynaco ST-35. Seventeen
dollars and home it came. Now I know a bit about vintage gear and I
have a bunch of things to tinker with but aside from the layers of
dust, this little amp is in great shape. I want to restore/mod this
amp but aside from knowing how to read a schematic, solder and use a
multimeter....I would rather have an adoring tech massage my little
amp into a worthy addition to my amp collection. Any suggestions in
the Atlanta area?
All I've done is blow off the dust and brush away the residue. Pulled
the original tubes and cleaned it up a bit. Shoot....the cage only
has a little mar on the back corner. No rust but a little oxidation
on the chasis. Should I have it restored to original specs or
incorporate some of the more popular mods? You can tell I'm excited
about my little find and want the best for my baby. Thanks in
advance for any suggestions.

Those are remarkably simple amps. And you can do everything a tech
could do at a fraction of the cost and learn something too. If you
wish to discuss it off-line, contact me directly.

By the way, does it have glass or phenolic boards? That makes a
difference. Glass is good, phenolic is bad. Not unsalvageable, but you
*must* pay attention to them in order for them to be designated
'safe', or you can replace them with glass boards - another 'good
learning' exercise.

Brown boards so I assume they are phenolic. Glass is green? I
appreciate your offer and I may delve into it but it seems time is a
larger factor than money. I have three other projects in various
states of rebuilds and this one will have to go to the bottom of the
list. I really want to hear this thing "sing" before Easter. LOL
