Stereo 70 #1 - "Nothin' Fancy"

Here are numerous pictures of the first Stereo 70 I have refurbished and rebuilt.

Dynaco Stereo 70 - Top of Driver Board - This thing was originally pretty messy. It cleaned up quite nicely, didn't it? Note the NOS Allen-Bradley resistors - all matched within 0.1%!	Dynaco Stereo 70 - Bottom of Driver Board and associated wiring. - Note that the Power Take-Off sockets are not wired except for the "biaset" connection. (In order to keep hum and noise to a minimum.) The "grid stopper" resistors are arranged the way Dynaco factory-wired the Stereo 70. Also note the Spectrol 10-turn bias potentiometers and the 2 Watt resistors associated with the main B supply.	Dynaco Stereo 70 - Bottom of amplifier. - This overall shot shows the wiring, and also shows the condition of the inside of the chassis.	The "Classic" Dynaco Stereo 70 pose - cover removed. - Note the Mullard (branded GE) GZ 34/5AR 4, the two NOS matched RCA 7199's and the factory-matched quad of Electro-Harmonix EL34EH Output tubes. Nothin' fancy here! Just a good, solid, dependable amplifier.
"Nothin' Fancy" - with cover. - Allow me to introduce you to "Nothin' Fancy." A rock-solid Stereo 70! It is certainly NOT a "perfect" amplifier. The cosmetics are a solid Grade "B", but the SOUND is Grade "A" all the way! It might not be cosmetically perfect, but you certainly won't be ashamed to show it to your friends.	Dynaco Stereo 70 - Rear of amplifier. - Here is a picture of the back of the amplifier. Nothin' Fancy going on here either. Note the original (restored) Dynaco Power Cord.
