RCA 9289 tube amplifiers

That amp was probably a 12182.  They were stock with 6146 output tubes but easily converted to 6550's.  The 6146's ran away easily. I had one about 40 years ago and one got so hot it melted the tube bottle.  

I picked up one of the big amps from storage tonight and I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Hello,

Here's a link to some pictures of one of the amps.  The chassis can rotate 90 degrees from the rails for ease of service, and the meter is a handy tube checker  and line voltage monitor. 

I brought the amp up slow on a Variac and it passed sine wave. 

Tubes are:

12AU7

6SN7

4X 6550

6V6

2X OD3

2X 5R4

That's good! Don't keep running it until the power supply has been refurbished. Otherwise running it is a classic way that a failing filter capacitor causes a power transformer to fail.

@cdietze I tried to look at your pics and it says your album is set to private.
