I had forgotten about the Classic One. Knew someone who had the black finish P100 (it might have been the P110) and matching black finish T55. He ran them into a pair of Cambridge R50 transmission line speakers. "State of the art" at the time. :)Quote:

I was surprised at the simplicity underneath and love the fact it's all triode too.

:lolsign: Jeez, no CE approval there for sure :eek:
Nice looking beast though, but boy does something need to be done about the electrocution factor :eyebrows:
I was just thinking the same thing, Mark. That thing could seriously rearrange your body parts.
I'm not too worried about high voltage AC shocks Martin, it's DC that is a far worse proposition! With AC you can let go, but DC locks you onto it due to muscle contraction just the one way :eek: :deceased:
Sad to see there's no appreciation of the history of the hobby. :(
Only fools would think to use it before it was checked, rewired and serviced by a competent person. :scratch:
Yup, from a historical point of view, it would be a great piece to own. I think the final price will be considerably more than what it is currently...
The valves alone are worth about £600 (or more, if they test good and have original boxes)!
Marco.
Clark, there are exposed connections on the back of the PSU choke! That will be DC & possibly 300V+. I do appreciate old kit but i also like a tipple, drink & that amp just won't mix unless it's severely modified so there is no possible chance of electrocution :lol:
Btw, Mark, try 'Andy', not Clark... 'Clark' is there because he lives in Kent ;)
Who says you have to plug it in? :eyebrows:Quote:
