The seller is not that happy to tell me all. Can you give me some information on what this is and if it is worth it?

Things can get fast 😁 I watched an article on the newspaper. Facebook was growing. I thought o well, let's take a look again. On the marketplace i found the Philips MCD-708. This cute thing but with very cool blue led. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWIRDBct1F4 The blue led is so much more pretty. I already have the MCD-908 2 times. The MCD-908 is a very good sounding hybrid tube. This small 709 is the small son or daughter and has the same attitude as mum and dad. The same blue glow. This is the kid i bought; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWIRDBct1F4 This is dad; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Koim9CHTISA And this is mum i also have ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3qcL1GlfCQ The sound is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3qcL1GlfCQ For what it is. Here is the baby 708 on top of her father the 908... I show the blue glow here all the family have The amp is not that good. But i love the athmosphere and the baby amp 😀

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around this forum for a little while now, trying to get the courage to introduce myself and share my story. I want to be completely transparent with you all, so I'll start by saying that I have struggled with mental health issues for a long time. I've found that it can be difficult to connect with people in the outside world, so I decided to try reaching out to a smaller community like this one. I've found that talking about my experiences and being open about my struggles has helped me a lot in my own healing process, and I hope that by sharing my story, I can help others who may be going through similar struggles. I also hope that by being open and vulnerable, I can help break the stigma around mental health issues and encourage others to speak up and seek help. I know it can be scary to open up to strangers, but I truly believe that there is power in sharing our stories and connecting with others who understand. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and being a part of this community. Thank you for reading.

I see this forum is still not very active and there are mostly beginners like me i want to start this post where you can share things what you learned so far. For me i'm starting with this Philips course for beginners from the seventies. It is in Dutch so not much help to English readers but it gives an idea what is arround on the Internet; https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KEb4bKSOYFY_WQR-bKkaqD9OAu3IX3y5 I think i can complete this course at the end of next week. So i can safely work on normal solid state stuff, but still not at high voltage tube things. I saw an amplifier build from Triode Dick where even he was a bit cautious with messing with the almost 1000v B+ in his design. My thinking for now is this, I can do whatever i want as an unexperienced beginner as long as i not dare to power up anything. I have 4 cats and i don't want to look at them as in a cartoon if somethings going wrong when i leave a project to grab a coffee. For that i have to move by bench i am working on now, from the living room to a seperate room where i can close out the cats. Not ideal but i can't take the risk if i really put some voltage in things. I want to share here some simple things i come by while i'm learning. Hope others will do the same so we can learn together. These beginner things might be obvious to more experienced people so they don't even mention it in their video's or other sources. This is what i found. In a very old brochure i found an add where they sold special screwdrivers to adjust those small potentionalmeters inside an amp. I thought you can use just a small screwdriver but you can't. You need a special tool for this to get more precise. This is available for almost nothing so i want to invest in it. There must be so much more small details where experienced people not even bother to tell but for beginners it is not so obvious. I hope others will share small things like that here. That way we can learn from eachother small but important things. And avoid disappointment.

Hi, I want to build the most simple amp possible with only the parts I have already available. I only want to buy the wiring. My plan is to use 2 out of my 3 tape machines for the transformers and maybe some other parts which are easy to put back later. This is the tape machine; https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/philips_el3530_00_01_02_03_05_07_50_53_60_90_96.html# I have a lot of caps, resistors and tubes and also many other things. More then enough to cover any simple schematic I think. For this project the sound quality is not important. It just have to work. A phono amp would be nice but anything else is also good. First I need to learn electronics more so I can safely work on it. I want to dive into that this week and next week. In the mean time I want to find all the parts I need. Any ideas for a very simple schematic?

Hi forum. My hobby is vintage audio. More and more I switch from solid state to tubesound. I have a few tube radio´s and a small tube amplifier. My goal is to learn electronics so I can repair and restore things. I don´t work anymore because of mental health problems. So I have all the time in the world. The other side is that I have almost no money to buy things. It took me a long time to collect everything I think I need for this. I just recently found the Skunkie Youtube video´s and I really love it.
