While I'm working on some project here... (it's a little old tube mic/line mixer/preamp thing made by Bogen Communications, Inc.) and kind of having good and the same time hard time with it... and so I have to search around for various info, and I have found this interesting site for ppl who are somehow into tube gear etc... there's some interesting info there, some schematics. photos etc...
here's the link to: Stereomaster Hi-Fi components 1960 brochure
hete's link to home-page of www.hhscott.com

here's A Trendy Lady:
Hey Dr - check out http://www.vintage-radio.net. Its a low-traffic vbulletin forum frequented by a lot of very helpful Poms (and others). Its primarily for vintage radio but there are sections on other audio equipment there.
Great resource - I have scored full schematics for my 1936 Ekco SW86 radio, even though it turns out its an oddball model which, although it looks like the UK's AW86 version, was built for export and apparently only ever sold in NZ. Turns out they were in an article written by a guy from Invercargill who is dropping more service data in to work tomorrow (Monday NZ time)!
You could probably get some useful data on that gear, or at least find people who know about it.
Its quite a contrast to here though - well moderated, off-topic threads moved to the right forum, threads closed when they're getting off-topic, that kind of thing.
oh, cool! thanks for that link. i've booked it ...will check it out etc asap.
I was snuffing around for mostly pre-amp/amp info lately...
I 've figured (sort of ) that the one hard part (if not the harderst) of the whole deal in restoring (or modifying/+ restoring) of vintage electronics is to keep balance between "fixing" it and "destrying it"... and by that I mean, that when you fix something on one hand you make the unit functional but on the other you often unavoidabley destroying its originality... so you always have to think twice before "making a move" ... you know what I mean?
ok, ... I'll check in later, thanks again for that forum link
