I think the two I'm getting are all Acro iron from stem to stern, so they should be good amps if built right. They are rated at 70 watts, which is a bit of a stretch for a pair of 88s. I have a pair of mono Stromberg Carlsons (AP50s) that are rated at 50 watts running 4 6L6s per amp. I'll probably do those after the Allens. Here's a thread about them from DIY. Hope you don't mind Ron, you sold these didn't you?

Cool. All the tubes you listed are absent from my hoard though.
Maybe down the road we could build a monster useing 6LQ6's, 6LR6's, or some other sweep(?).
I have a few of those.
