New 12 year old Paramount

[elcraigo]

I bought a Paramount kit 12 years ago. I painted the chassis plates when I received it. Then I moved to another state. Finally got around to building it.
I only lost one of the AC power switches. The output transformers were built with the windings in the frames up-side-down. This was a known issue, and with the help of Paul B., was easy to resolve. With the recommendation of Paul, I replaced the old LEDs to be safe. I had a bag of sealed HLPM-6000s with a desiccant bag and a humidity indictor card; I used those. Now to build the $99 Foreplay I have in the stash, it's probably 25 years old.

Very cool! I still have some legacy Botthehead gear in service. Most notably an "Extended Foreplay III" and "Paramour II" monoblocks with iron upgrades and component changes to run 45 tubes. She only puts out 1.75 watts per channel but it sounds so sweet. Keep us updated on the progress with your pre-amp.

That's pretty much what's in my system at the moment. My Paramour II monoblocks are custom versions (built by PB) using the current Stereomour transformers and with a 6J5 driver.

Are you ready for a round of mods on those?

Beautiful build Craig!
