Ok it a two tube Kem Tron Pro RX Bilinear amp. It has two 6LQ6 tubes that light up when it is turned on and their is a loud hum. This was in the add. Cosmeticly it not as nice as my Kris Amp but I got it for $15 plus $15 for shipping. If I never use it as an Amp the tubes, transformer, switch's and meter are worth more then what I paid as spare parts for the Kris amp which is like new and use's the same tubes.

I am a happy camper! Love a good deal! I am thinking about rebuilding it and using more powerful glass enveloper tubes from Russia in it. Thinking about something like EL 500/509 or 519 type tubes from Russia since I can buy a lot of them cheap and rework the amp for them easily especially with grounded grid set up!

I do not care if I have to cahnge the socket's so any idea's on a tube that can be driven with the same 800-900 volts that the 6LQ6 amps tend to have available would be great! I doubt their are any ceramic tubes that can function with that little power tot he plate.
