Sleeper Vintage Tube Gear?

Hello All,

I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, used to be a tech, and have built a few guitar amps from scratch as well as repaired/modded others soooooo…….

Any recommendations of vintage sleeper tube amps or preamps (home audio) that I can look for to repair, upgrade, modify that would be relatively inexpensive, say $200 each ?

Thanks

Stromberg-Carlson ASR433, Magnavox SE console amps. It's usually easy to purchase a pair of mono integrated amps if you buy them separately. Heath made some nice ones with 6L6s.

Not if you want a stereo thread.

Heath Kit's sound pretty good and are not that expensive. A lot of people overlook them.
