1974x Dagnall Transformers compatibility with Mojotone Small Parts Kit

Post by izymandias »

Hello!

I'm a repair technician new to Los Angeles; first post here, didn't see this question asked while browsing the forums.

I've built a few tube amps before (in the 50W-100W range), but never an 18W.
I managed to get a hold of the transformers for a 1974x build, and wanted to know if they were compatible with the MojoTone Small-Parts Kit they sell on their website.

The Kit:

The Transformers:

Thanks for the help!

Compatible? Sure.

But do NOT buy the mojotone 18W kit. It's terrible. The board layout and the docs are junk.

If you want a kit, there are much better sources to get one from.

Mojotone does sell some good parts, and their cabinets are nice, but their 18W kits are generally a nightmare.

gdsamps.com, ceriatone, and a few others make good standard kits.

Couldn't agree more with this ^
