Last Friday I met up with a mate and showed him the ex Philco Radio guitar amp I just finished. He said he also had a Philco Radio and I could have it. Turns out to be the exact same model.
I would like to convert it into something single ended that pumps out about 8 watts. I have an old OPT that is rated at 10W so that could be used nicely.
What power valves you recommend I should check out?
I bought this State to do a year or so ago, but it’s
In great condition and works so well. First time firing it up Pink Floyd played. It’s about the same size as a Marshall head anyway.

Its not enough that we succeed, we still need others to fail

That is a beautiful cabinet hopefully without borer. Both my Philco radios came as chassis only. Don't know what happened up the cabinets.

It would almost be a shame to convert it
Yeah, bought at auction unseen - when I picked it up I knew that it wasn't going to be converted

Your choice would depend on your available OTs, wouldn’t it? The original looks like it’s wound for EL84s. What was your replacement OT designed for? The impedance ratios will dictate what you can or can’t use.
