Q. Is it cost effective to rebuild my original Dyanco Amp?
A.
If you have an older Dynaco amplifier, you will first need to determine if the
transformers are still operable. Secondly, we would recommend replacing the quad
capacitor, bias supply and possibly all of the tube sockets. The original PC board may
also be in need of replacement. If the chassis is rusted/pitted you may option to
replace this with a new Dynakit reproduction chassis. Review of all these costs in
comparison to the cost of a new Dynakit amplifier and then decide accordingly.

All Dynakit parts are designed to exactly fit the original Dynaco amplifiers. This
includes our transformers, PC boards, can capacitors, terminals, sockets, etc.

As long as the PC board is dimensionally the same as the original, it should mount to
our Dynakit Reproduction Chassis with out problems.
