I was thinking of modding mine, with a power transformer... depending on which one I pick, it might wind up "boosting" the output a bit. Would be interesting to see what I could get out of it, changing over to 6AQ5 output tubes... but, that's a project that I will have to get around to, when I get around to it...

Now that's some useful information. Is there a way to remedy that live chassis problem easily? Is it safe to assume that many of these Console tube units are live as well? Suggestions to remedy this are welcome.
Luckily I've learned long ago connections/tinkering is best done with power off, and also with devices not plugged in for further assurances that all is relatively safe.
