I have an old acoustic I found in a pump shed. I cleaned it up, it plays great. It's Japanese stamped on the back of the neck, and the sticker inside reads Knox Corp, Beverly Hills, California. I am simply looking for a little history on it. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Thank You

ELK amplifier - tubes ?

Posted by mark on Thu, 03/27/2008 - 09:16.

Hi !

I have an ELK amplifier (it says "Viking Bass" on front)
It is in very bad condition, but I want to fix it.

It is a strange amp, using two push-pull output transformers
in parallel. Secundairy windings are connected in series.

It has a miniature 8-pin tubesocket next to the input (for 12a..7 ?), going to a miniature 8-pin socket wired for something like a 6bq5 (derived from the connections, wired as a triode), going into an interstage tranny, into two push-pull sections each on their own output transformer, wich outputs are wired in series.....

output valves could be EL34's or 6l6's

Has anybody seen this kind of amp before and know what tubes are used ?

Cheers,

Mark

Re: ELK amplifier - tubes ?

Posted by Basshog on Wed, 04/30/2008 - 07:51.

Mark,

It uses 4 6CA7 power tubes.

Here is a link to the schematic.

Mark, you were right .It uses an el84 as a driver and 4 6ca7 output tubes. Tip: get rid of that driver tranny and use a normal phase inv.Check out the voltages on the 12ax7,s they are connected for 12v Ps had one here in South Africa
