Thumbnail for PAS-3X - Output wiring - Here is a closer shot of the Output Wiring. Notice we have used shielded wiring here for lower hum and noise.
Thumbnail for PAS-3X - Selector switch - Shielded Wiring - Here is the completed wiring at the PAS-3X Selector Switch. That jumble of wires has gotten considerably neater.
Thumbnail for PAS-3X - Shielded Input wiring - Here is the completed wiring of the RCA jacks. Our shielded wiring now looks quite neat.
Thumbnail for PAS-3X - Chassis - Top View - Completed Wiring - Our PAS-3X is now Electrically complete. Here's an overall view of the top of the completed chassis.
Thumbnail for PAS-3X - Chassis - Bottom View - Completed Wiring - Here is a picture of our Completed PAS-3X wiring underneath the chassis.
Thumbnail for PAS-3X - Front of completed preamplifier - Here is a picture of the front of our completed PAS-3X preamplifier. While not absolutely PERFECT, I don't think anyone would be ashamed to display this unit in their "Vintage" collection. This is the so-called "new design" front panel made of extruded anodized aluminum. The finish is called "Champagne Gold" in Dynaco literature. Personally, I think it looks simply elegant, with a bit of a "European" flair.
Thumbnail for The Telefunken "Diamond" - Telefunken made it EASY to spot fakes. This is the "classic" Telefunken "Diamond" located on the bottom of every genuine Telefunken miniature tube.
Thumbnail for Original "Dynaco" branded 12AX7 tubes - Manufactured by Telefunken - The tubes EVERYBODY wants! These are "Dynaco" branded Telefunken-manufactured 12AX 7's. In a PAS-3X preamplifier, they truly make MAGIC!
Thumbnail for PAS preamplifier - Rear Panel Label - "Dynaco" version - This is a picture of a NOS Pas preamplifier label for the rear panel. There have been several versions over the years, but this was the final version Dynaco used. Notice the "Dynaco" logo, rather than block printing that read "Dyna Company"
Thumbnail for Rear Panel Label - PAS preamp - early version - Here is a scan of the rear panel of an existing PAS preamp label. This is an early version.
Thumbnail for PAS-3X - Chassis - Bottom Panel with Feet Installed - Here is the Bottom Panel of a PAS-3X preamplifier with feet installed.
