OK, change of plans... I dug through my salvage boxes in my radio shop because I recall scrapping an old Sentinel turntable with a Maggie amp in it, and I thought that it used the same tubes (12AX7, 6V6, and 5U3) as the amps I was looking at. Just my luck! It's a PP 6V6 amp with a single 12AX7 pre and a 5Y3 rectumfryer. It also has a PT and OT that will do nicely too, plus a chassis. Looks like I'll be building something in the existing chassis and running to remote switches on a panel. Haven't figured out how I'm going to do it exactly, but this shouldn't be hard at all. The speakers are nothing special, but the OT is good for 8 ohms and I've got choices galore with that.
The tubes all check out strong, now I'll just decide which circuit I want to start with. Fun Fun Fun!
