Fantastic. Good price.
Nice amp, and great amp
Is it the original ecc82 - e182cc input and driver valve design, or the “low gain” with two 6c45pi valves?
Hi
It is the low gain with 6c45pi.
Very nice amp, I prefer the sound of the low gain versions. It will be a lovely buy for somebody.
What’s inside a PSU box?
A PSU.

The Border Patrol ones that I’ve seen replace what’s commonly a capacitor-input high voltage supply in the amp itself with a valve-rectified choke-input one. The amp’s own mains transformer is left just supplying the valve heaters and the auto switch-on circuit for the BP unit.

This is a BP amp with it’s own PSU, they are different from the add-on psu fitted to other amps.
The psu with this amp will contain a big mains tx, gz37 valve rectifier and v big inductor for a choke input ht supply, it will also have an ez81 and small choke for the choke input lt negative bias supply.
I have seen later version with a second ez81 and small choke for a low current choke input ht supply for the input/driver stage.
The BP amps don’t have a mains tax on the audio chassis, it will have 2 output transformers, and 2 interstage driver transformers.

Thanks, no needed for me. There’s a plenty on the net.
Would anyone know if Emission Labs 300B XLS would be a drop in replacement? How do you deal with bias here?
Bias is adjusted manually with a multi meter inside the main chassis.
Not sure about the 300b xls,but i do not think so.

For similar money I’ve just ordered the Psvane WE300b, I wasn’t overly impressed with the EL 300b valves.
I wanted to try the Psvane Acme 300b but haven’t seen much online about reliability yet.
Now listed on e-bay.
Still up for grabs here at above price,unless of course there is a bid on e-bay.
