[QUOTE="Family_Dog, post: 33387, member: 82"] Hi Darrylo, Lekker! An ECC85 is as close as dammit to the 6AQ8 and may be easier to find. The ECC85 is listed by Mr. Valve (bouwman (at) telkomsa.net) at prices from R115 to R170. I don't know where you are situated, but yes, you do need to replace the coupling caps and I find the older Pioneer radios normally have dud caps on their loudness circuit, which kills a channel. Shops such as Mantech, Communica & RS Components should be able to assist you with the caps, coupling and Filter electrolytics. Mr. Valve does stock various filter caps as well. Please place a photo of your Pioneer here, enquiring minds need to be able to look (and drool! ;D ) over it. -F_D [/QUOTE]
