Ahahah well spotted Fran!
It's to switch on or off the front screen (showing the bias for each KT90)

Re: Full DIY Tube Amplifier: KT90 6SN7 EF86

Really really like the sound of it.
It has a wide soundstage, detailed and warm tube sound with precise and punchy bass :)
It's really powerful, I can only bring the volume pot to maximum 1/4 then it's too loud.

Re: PYE 53 Valve Radio Restoration

Nop, already changed for MKP.
I think I'll need to add stronger R on the cable used to connect to the mobile phone

Re: PYE 53 Valve Radio Restoration

Only issue remaining on both radios: when plugging in a mobile phone (with streaming music) to the pick up inputs the sound is quite "muddy" not as good as the radio station one. Not sure why... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190126/5b5539228e9adc8ad2ef9de623508788.jpg https://uploads....
