T = tube unit

 

A complete list of tubes is given for tube amplifiers.

H = height
W = width
D = depth

 

The depth dimension for amplifiers with a front panel is for the mounting depth behind the panel. Total depth, including knobs, is usually 1-1/2" in addition.

sw = switch

 

All solid state units are stereo and include autoformers unless indicated otherwise.

M = mono
S = stereo
w = watts

 

There may be missing prices or other features. any additions, corrections or comments are welcome. Please excuse the quality of some of these pictures. They're like trying to image a black cat in a coal bin at midnight.
