Willsenton R8 with KT88 tubes. Full Skunkie upgrade
I have owned this amplifier from new.
It is in as new condition (well, rather better than new in fact) and has undergone a thorough upgrade as per Skunkie Designs.
(See video for full details of the upgrade)
This has been checked by a qualified electrical technician.
The upgrades include
Complete ground wire redo
Nearly all resistors upgraded to Vishay and similar brands
Most capacitors upgraded to Nichicon or Wurth
The coupling caps are Mundorf as are several others - see photographs
The transformer wiring has been redone
The choke has been upgraded to a Hammond 2H 194G
It comes with four PSVANE KT88 output tubes and I have upgraded the driver tubes to Russian equivalents
It will run EL34 tubes with a simple switch and re-biassing.
It comes with the quality remote control and cage and I have the original packaging
The amplifier can be auditioned and picked up in Canberra.
I can arrange postage via a courier at cost
