Default Re: EL95 bit’s this and bit’s ‘a that amp (from Wanted section) …

I've just built an amp using oddments from stock. It has an EF37A front end, 6SN7 phase splitter, a pair of AC/Pen's output and an 80 rectifier. 5 bottles, 3 different base types! The reason for using AC/Pen output valves was that I wanted to use an odd mains transformer that had 4V, 5V and 6.3V LT secondaries! The transformers came from an old dud amp which I stripped. I am highly suspicious of the alleged output transformer - it has a centre tapped secondary! I suspect it is a heater transformer pressed into service...
