That is a nice find there.... Are all the transistors in tube sockets...?
I guess for the day, maybe tube sockets were cheaper, and possibly
I bet the transistors were pretty pricy. I think many of the soldering people
could have over heated and burned out the transistors, So not soldering them
ensured more survived the assembly. And I bet the sockets made
salvage easy if they had one at the end of the assembly line that did not work.
Since they were hand soldered, and converted from tube sets, that means they had
4 or 5 extra tie points per section for wiring.....
I think that in depth comparrison would be a very interesting page..... Hope you can get
what you need to get it done....
Are the transistors slid into the socket, or soldered at the bottom....?
I know they could easily crimp the tube socket pin holders as needed.....
How did they do it..... are they crimped....?
I wonder if the audio output transformer has the same specs as the tube version...?
and if the part numbers are the same.....?
