Ran into this beautiful Stereo 80 and couldn't resist. I installed new Gold Lion (re-issue) KT-66 tubes
that are burning in while I'm writing this.

Some pictures were taken out of hand with a .5 second shutter, so forgive me that they are
not 100% sharp...
As the KT-66 are brand new, I cannot give a "final" analysis right now, but my first impressions
are very favourable. This is one fine (BIG!) amplifier !
Is it a match for the ST-120 ?..... too early to say, but I'll come to that in a week or so. Promised.
This is a BIG amp, which has the benefit of running rather cool.....as there is plenty of air around the tubes.
I will comment on its sound when tubes get settled...
