Thanks for the response, but I don't want to bother mike sanders/Quicksilver with something he has the right to ask to be paid for, not fair to him so I like to look 1st to the audio community. These amps are still using 8417's, and I think I want to still run them with 8417's for a while. There are still quite a few 8417 tubes out there, Ebay has 5 sets up now, and has sold something like 20 in the last few weeks, then a few tube dealers still have them, so getting the tube is not the real issue, I just want to be able to make an honest close as possible evaluation of the original Mike Sanders design as I can.
Quicksilver 8417 help
Ayybody out there willing to send me a bottom pic of their stock 6 tube quicksilver 8417's? I acquired a pair yesterday that have been "modded" and I would like to perhaps undo his work, but I don't know what original looks or sounds like. Values on caps would help as well. thanks in advance.
