Hi everybody, to Reese: thank you for your kind words, but Italy is a land of big contraddictions... At last, these are firsts pics of the double-face game field: for inhabitants under 3 years old and for over 50 years old. This is still a work in progress, the wood furniture is just a visible example for the eyes of who-will-decide (not me, of course), and I did not hook the silver7's up to the variac.

to Mbskeam: you are simply essential. Thank you very much!!

Hi everybody! Sorry for my delay, but this is a period of hard work, Touring with rock bands in clubs and beer festival (yes, we live sound engineer are like Gynecologists: we work where normal people have fun...). 1- Thank you for your suggestion about Chrome: it works perfectly. 2- The 2kva vaiac arrived to me, but I want to power on it with a inexpensive amp before than with the silver seven. I think that my experience may be of interest for people of this forum because here we have mainly vintage gears. I want to descibe my experience as accurate as possible, including all suggestions from you. Next week will be the "fire week". 3- I still have a question: is the sequence of signal tubes correct, as described in my first post? Thank you very much!

ok, Tomorrow I'll try to download chrome, now it's 3am, time to sleep... thank you all!

yes. No toolbar. Only a blank sheet. I've win10 and Explorer.

Hello to all, I read the "how to insert photos" topic but in the space for text (this space) there is any toolbar on top...

Wow my friends.... Problem solved within 2 hours from my request... I need some slap to realize I'm not dreaming! This is feeling to be part of a real community. Thank you, thank you very much! I hope to be so helpful in the future for some other friends. I'm waiting for the new, powerful variac (I've one of 300va, the new one is 2000va) I ordered two days ago, and I'll update you on the work in progress of my new living room.

Good morning (?) to all, I'm just new on this fantastic forum (but I read it since 2 years ago). I'm an italian sound engineer since 1990 in Bologna, the city of Ducati and Lamborghini. My english is very bad, so I invoke your understanding. I have a pair of silver7 s/n 012, bought new in 1991, used for about 100hrs up to 1994, then never used. Now I wish to resuscitate them, but I have some questions: 1- how can I proceed to turn on the amplifiers? I read that, not to damage the capacitors, I must use a variac, rise slowly up to 50v, remain at 50v for 1 hour, rise to 110v, remain for 1 hour, and finally go to 230v (the european voltage). Is this a correct procedure? Must I use a dummy load or an expendable loudspeakers? Must I inject an input signal? 2- My beautiful 3 years old daughter destroyed a 6550 carver signed tube. I think that it's better to replace the 6550 of the power supply, not the 7+7 used in the push pull circuit. Can someone tell me its position? The tubes are arranged in a 3x5 Matrix, as you probably know. 3- is this signal tubes position correct? From left to right: 3x 12bh7a, 1x 12bv7. 4- I have the schematic and original boxes but no owner's manual: where can I buy it? Thank you very much!!!
