It is now fully functional copy, unfortunately without the original parts. As you can see, power amplifier uses:
- the beautiful 6P3S tubes at output stage,
- the 6N8 as a phase inverter,
- the EF183 as microphone preamplifier and
- EF80 as gramophone preamplifier.
As the result of long-term "residence" in the wet room, all the paper capacitors were "dead", and so the most of the resistors.

Amplifier, due to construction (beam tetrodes) is characterized by an incredibly warm sound and power, which certainly exceeds 100W. Original input sockets were a banana type but I changed it to a "JACK" type for obvious reasons (amplifier serves as an instrumentation device). At the bottom there is a microphone and at the top a gramophone socket.
