I can attest to that. My brother's got a similarly old school workshop with a lot of very heavy and very powerful 3-phase equipment, as well as the Red Seal certification to know how to use it without losing digits.

I dunno, I'm comfortable with 700+ volts, but I still try to avoid toxic stuff. 700 volts is only dangerous if you touch it, while toxic spray is dangerous just being near it.

It looked to be mono. 20,000 pounds for stereo ??


Looking at the back of it, there are two sets of speaker outputs (looks like 4 and 8-ohm outputs) and two RCA inputs (as well as two output transformers), so it is a stereo amp. From a quick Google search, a 300B tube puts out around 8 watts, but the 300B tube is known to be low-noise and very accurate, so it probably sounds at least as nice as it looks.

Hah! I'd probably do the same myself. If it works, why not?
