Bit more info about the amp for anyone interested.

Inter stage transformers
C core output transformers
Output about 20 watts
Driver valves are RTC E182CC
Valve rectifiers are CV187

Nipper seems quite impressed :)
Get some Audionote molybdenum 211s and see if Nipper likes them.
Managed to grab a picture of the main capacitor in my amp.
422uF and 1800volts
Attachment 24708
Bought a pair of Psvane 211 TII valves for insurance.
At about £230 a pair they are excellent value. Bass is deep and firm and the mid range is opening up beautifully as they run in.
