Magnavox 9302-00 EL84 tube amplifier

Another win on Ebay is this top of the line Magnavox 9302-00 push/pull EL84 tube amplifier. This unit will run around 15WPC when completed. These were units pulled from console stereo units from the mid 60's. This unit will get all the capacitors and resistors replaced along with a whole new tube set.




There is lots of support for this amplifier over on AudioKarma discussion boards with David Gillespie leading the forum.


This is my third vintage console push/pull EL84 amplifier with the first being the Electrohome Lorainne 40.


And this RCA RS-177J push/pull EL84 tube amp. 




Although this is a speaker blog, I have enjoyed working and learning about tube amplifiers. Tubes are my preferred way to enjoy the music and these older tube amps are easy to work on since they are point to point wiring and really basic in their layout. Schematics are easy to find as are the parts.
