    Hi Joseph,

    What's involved in bringing these back to life?
    Is it just new caps and bias settings or is there more to it?

    B200 is my favourite from that series.

    hi rob, B200 it is still my admiral, but the A100 it is a very good amp, new caps, regulaters higher duty transformer and higher tolerace transistors, the bias setting to complye with the output voltage stability, i have nothing to do but play with nostalgia, :) sorry rob.
