Anybody got one of the old Alpha vapor-cooled amps still running? A friend
just acquired one, but it has some problems (a transformer, if I remember
right)? If the tube is still good (he doesn't have any way to test it), I'm
advising him to restore it and put it on the air. Pretty rare amplfier.
Speaking of Alpha, I've heard (from a credible source, but consider this
still in the rumor category) that after the merger, Alpha amps will be
assembled in Tennessee, but that engineering, design (and possibly repairs?)
will continue to be done in Colorado. I'm glad they're keeping engineering
separate. The design philosophies of the two companies are very different.
