Electrically is mainly the part i needed to know, the fabrication part i can have taken care of.
thanks for the help!

hi vince. that part WILL work electrically. I can’t tell you if it will fit mechanically. you will need to measure the chassis yrself. and you will likely need to drill new mounting holes. good luck. c.

Any 40 watt 5000k ohm : 4ohm O/trans will work just fine. you will likely have to drill some holes to mount it. I buy my parts from here: http://www.tubesandmore.com/

1. if the output transformer is bad on mine, and seeing that i don’t have a spare one lying around, what would be your recommendation about getting a new one?

The latter can take 500V on the plate, the 5881 is rated at 400V max. Combine that close to 600V plate voltage with solid state rectification as shown in the amp’s schematic and you have a recipe for potential disaster. Had it been a tube rectified PSU it would’ve been slightly gentler on the output tubes. However, in this scheme, every time you hit the power switch those poor 5881’s are instantly hammered by the full-tilt B+.

The schematic looks just like the ones in MJ Audio Technology magazine. Maybe it’s the same draftsman.

Surprisingly there were a lot of brands sold in Canada only.

Since then it’s been downhill on the amps.
