Zodiac Amp?

Looks like Ray's kind of layout. The 6DQ6 sweep tube was dirt cheap in the 60s and 70s. Was meant to be used in monochrome televisions.

This thing looks like a mobile amplifier. Can't imagine anybody other than Ray who might agree to tackle it. Too much like restoring a 1906 steam tractor to mow your lawn.

Sure, you could. But solutions that are vastly more cost effective have been developed since it was new.

50 years ago if you wanted wattage in the mobile, you were stuck with using tubes.

Not any more.

I messaged Amp repair guy to see if he could go through it and he said it's not something he works on and he know nobody thatll work on it and said he only works on base ham tube amps. so my next question what the heck kind of an amp do I have here?
