    Default Vinyl Grinders New Toy

    My new Toy arrived this morning.Pickies with cover removed.Need a bit of a clean but in fine fettle...Look at the size of those transformers.

    Fit perfectly into my proposed new vintage system..







    Anderson 'KT88'..45 watt per side...Some may have heard of Eric Anderson from Audion, Audio Innovations, Edison etc...No.1 European tube designer..
