OT? Pentode? Ultralinear?
I purchased a physically damaged Eico HF-81 on Ebay a long time ago. Chassis was bent, no cover but iron all good. Been wanting to build a decent PP 6V6 or EL-84 amp using the iron.
The HF-81 was about the best sounding PP EL-84 amp of it's day so I'm guessing with the right iron you could pretty much copy the HF-81 or the power amp version which used the same iron and whose nomenclature I can no longer recall.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
