[Didn't see any traffic on this, reposting in case it never made it.
Apologies for
waste of bandwidth if it did in fact appear previously].
Hoping to complement my GF/RU - which has complete insides but hacked
outsides - I picked up a BC-AS-230 at the Chino Hills swap meet. This unit
has flawless outsides
but much of the insides have gone.
The tube lineup (all missing, unfortunately) was: 2x VT-52 and 2x VT-25A,
according
to engraving on the chassis. This is slightly different from the GF-1,
apparently, which
seems to have had 1x VT-52 and 3x VT-25A.
I can only find late model GF/RU schematics. There doesn't appear to be
anything in the
Surplus Schematics or Conversion manuals, or online, for the BC-XX-230. If
someone
can point me at schematics that would be interesting.
An appealing thing about the GF/RU is that it doesn't use any audiophile
tubes.
I am thinking of stuffing the BC-AS-230 shell with the GF/RU innards.
Alternatively,
if someone has a legitimate use for either (or both) of these units let me
know and
perhaps we can trade.
