this has been chez sedon for a couple years; it was adwertized as not working when i got it - signal strength meter tube bad.  i finally decided to try to trouble shoot it; the 6g-e12 signal strength meter tubes are rare as hen's teeth, and i had no luck finding another one for less than a few times what i paid for the complete tuna.  i wariac'd it slowly last night, and gave it a go today; it turns out that everything is fine. one of the tube socket connections was shorting out against another chassis connection.  w/everything cleaned, lubed, and the socket connector moved away from the chassis, everything works and sounds fine, including the signal strength meter tube.  :thumb:   it sounds good; further ewaluation will be forthcoming after it runs in a few days.

whitese, those ev's look sweet, but i'd be turning the tweeter lenses 90 degrees, and raising the front of the cabinets up a few inches...  ever try the lenses oriented horizontally instead of wertically?

Doug,
I have to ask: how many tuners do you currently have?
I have 8 and think that may be too many although they don't take up much space.

I picked this up yesterday. It had been gone through by a certified Mac tech (McTech  :lol:) and he replaced the questionable parts. It has been inserted into my 2 channel set up and is now playing away through my Maggies.  :green: I really like what I'm hearing.  :dance:

I like it better with its clothes off.
Is that wrong?

I had no idea that the Empire line up had such "chick appeal". 
The only thing my Advents attracted was my labrador's hind leg.
Had I only known...

That's just neat!
I've heard of those, but never saw one. Thanks for the picture.
How's the sound quality?
