Stereo tube amplifier project

The 1959 Fisher 30-A used as the basis for this project is a small, mono amplifier that was originally built for Fisher consoles. The circuit is very simple, utilizing a pair of 6BQ5s in push-pull and a single 12AX7 AF amp/phase inverter. The amplifier also uses a single 6CA4 full-wave rectifier.

The finished amplifier consists of two 30-A circuits mounted on a single chassis. Each channel retains an original 30-A output transformer and power transformer, for a truly dual-mono design. All of the passive components are mounted on a turret board which is situated just forward of the EL84s.
