RE: Check out these finds! Are those Altecs?

bdguitar, hi. The Magnecord piece you have is the electronics (record/playback) for a Model PT-6. These were either mounted in racks or in a portable cases. One case for transport and one case for electronics. There was an umbilical with jones plugs from one to the other. These were early workhorses post WWII. If you couldn't afford an Ampex 300 or 350 the Maggie was an alternative. Are those 6BG6 outputs in the tube amp you show? Re the wet transformers: you can dry them. Put it under a heat lamp for a couple of days and test the windings with a meter. Have Fun and Happy Listening.
