I bought this preamp from Lloyd in May 2012. It includes the Original owners manual that includes full schematics and description of parts. Everything point to point wired. All tubes very conservatively run and in fact the original Sylvania 12SN7's ans RCA 6X5 rectifier sound new. Also numerous 12SN7's --- RCA, Hytron, GE.
So to sum up sale includes Preamp, Power Supply, umbilical, stock power cord, Owners manual, tree sets of power tubes, 4 pairs of 12SN7's 5 rectifiers (Tung Sol and RCA),
The preamp was built with a combo of Hovland Supercap and Auricap coupling capacitors. The only other thing I did was replace the stock input selector to a Elna gold over copper unit and replace the input resistor to a Takman REY metal film resistor. The Elma selector cost $85.00.
This preamp will use both 12sn7 and 6sn7 tubes with a flip of toggle switch.
