[QUOTE="Family_Dog, post: 823800, member: 82"] The Mullard 5-10 is a very sweet-sounding amplifier and has been around since the 50s, far less the 80s as claimed in the advert. I built one decades ago and I just love it. Pics below. The item for sale is a bird's nest however but if you're keen, simply strip and rebuild it using the original transformers. All valves are still available but you might have to replace the rectifier and maybe the EL84 valves. The ECC83 generally lasts for ever, the EF86 valves tend to go hissy or microphonic at times. You should replace all resistors and caps anyway. But a fun project it certainly will be and I do have the schematics and assembly notes.
