I think I found every schematic ever drawn for this small, unassuming tube amp. I spent many days trying to find out who designed it I checked with Packard Bell, and looked at all the archival information I could get my hands on. It wasn't, of course, it was simply designed by a genius. Anyway, this small output transformer seemed too good to be true. Most notably Harman Kardon, Lafayette, and several other big-name companies.My heroes are Einstein, Gandhi, Hegeman. Stewart Hegeman was a Top Gun for hire in those days, and designed many output transformers and amplifiers for a vast armada of companies. I tried to find out who designed it for Packard Bell so long ago, for It seemed to me to have the signature of Stu Hegeman written all over it. It was so good it truly was NOT to be believed. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that its output transformer was rather amazing in that its bandwidth was so good it was difficult to believe. I hooked it up, and to my great surprise it worked! It sounded quite nice, not much power (about 12 watts, weak output tubes), and its overall performance was similar to many other 6BQ5 amplifiers. These consoles were built by the millions in the 1950s and 1960s, and I ordered this amplifier on a whim one fine day as I was window shopping on. When this small amplifier appeared on my doorstep one day, I found myself holding a very worn and tired vintage console amplifier, typical of units found in 50 year old console stereo systems. Not so baby:With speech and music, 40 W rms per channel, 80 W rmstotal!
I LOVE THIS LITTLE AMPLIFIER, AND EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO IT IHAVE TO ASK MYSELF"HOW DOES IT DO THAT?" ISTILL HAVE ONEMORE OF THESE BABY SILVER SEVENS.
