well I guess it is a SEP amp perhaps...Single Ende Pentode....whatever that is

A tube with 2 sections, "halves". Triode is one. Congrats on the new amp!  Had I known you was looking for something like that....

thanks
I saw it on the bay for a good price and grabbed it...
my wife is in the Philippines so I can sneak it in without too much trouble lol
I have some push pull amps but wanted to try a single ended one without breaking the bank....i.e. buying a Decware

I got it today...at first I though a channel was gone but I did not have the 12AX7 pressed in the socket all the way. The guy who modded it put in some inputs on the back but the top ones still work too. Looks like the power supply was by passed and the coupling caps were replaced. My batteries died on the digital camera I will post that pic later.
not bad for just a buck twenty-five....especially with the 5U4 Sylvania coke bottle...the 6bq5s were made in Holland

Dude, that is sweet! With one 6BQ5 a side, she should be pumping out a rockin' 6, maybe 7, watts.
Holland could mean Amperex, Philips or Mullard Heerlen.

The 6BQ5 is Motorola built in Holland
the 12xa7 is a GE
the coke bottle 5U4 goes for like 40 bucks at least on the bay
The seller got this from another person...it was not theirs to begin with...I do not think they knew they could get much more by selling the tube separate.

You should be able to find n 5U4 cheaper than that. I have a few of those lying around.
The name on that 6BQ5 means little. I don't think Motorola ever made their own. It is either a Philips or an Amperex.
I have a Motorola branded 12BH7. It's a Sylvania. I can tell by the curved plates.

it actually plays pretty loud with the Klipsch speakers I have......
the output trannies look about the same as the ones pushing the 4 6v6s on my 175
I will spend sunday listening to it all day

Damn!
I probably cannot return to the tube game.
There was a guy in Williamsburg, Brooklyn who was sitting on a warehouse of tubes. If my memory served me right
I think I brought one from him for peanuts.
That was a couple years ago (4 or 5) when I was all tubed enthused.

Well who knows if people pay that.....
anyway here is the inside....I think this amp is from an AKer...it is nice when everything is plug and play the Weller gets old after awhile and this guy is really better than me
Btw Don I am beginning to think my old Fisher 440t amp I did a shotgun recap on sounds better than my Jolida....maybe this tube thing is overrated lol
the Maggies I think are really nice sounding for the most part....for price you cannot go wrong....and those amps were built to last.
