I'm almost done with my Pultec MB-1, following Rafafreddy's easy-to-follow work. One channel of my 3-channel preamp works fine. I'm waiting for a few parts for the other two channels. I've built it into an old Newcomb chassis using the Newcomb input transformers. -- My question involves my next project which is revolving around a nice-looking piece of test gear from WWll. I want to make it into a dual channel preamp. There's plenty of space, a nice panel and a power transformer that appears to be about the right voltage. It has six ceramic octal-base tube sockets. I was thinking of making a Pultec MB-1 again using 6SL7s and 6SN7s, unless someone has a better idea. I have several NOS military tubes to use. Any opinions? I'm obviously not a designer though I can usually decipher technical answers. I'll be primarily using it with old dynamic mics into a digital multi-track recorder (which already has its own preamps, so high gain isn't critical). I record old-style hillbilly music with old mics, aiming to sound like about 1950. Thanks for all your help. -- Keith
