I have these wonderful Tim deParavincini designed amps from I believe the early 70's. Anyone out there have experience with upgrading, moding, servicing. I switched to KT 88 output tubes 10 years ago.

I had eight of these in the late 70s. Aside from the output tube becoming unavailable, by biggest problem was setting the bias. Each night all eight had to be biased and this needed to be repeated during an evening of listening. I did not have them or the Fulton Premieres for very long, largely because of this, but I did like the sound of these amps.
Stevenm, having had six of these amps and having to bias them perhaps twice an evening, I wish I had known of the KT88 conversion. Did they sound as good as the original tubes? I had them on Fulton Premiers.
