Does anyone know if the auto bias board would work with an ST35?

No, and it won't add anything either since the st35 is auto-biasing by design.corndog71 wrote:Does anyone know if the auto bias board would work with an ST35?

best thing ever for the ST35 is the Gillispie EFB http://tronola.com/html/daves_store.html

I would tend to agree that a separate Cap Board for either the SCA or ST 35 would be a good thing - and that the Gillespie device seems to be the clear quill. I am contemplating it, but there are too many things that need doing first.
At the same time my stock ST35 and stock PAS3X are playing as I type, and are averaging ~40 hours per week in the office. I listen more at work than at home - not a bad thing, but not typical. I feel privileged.

Yes, I've built a few variations of ST35's all with the EFB mod. I was just curious as I have the Auto-bias board but haven't installed it in anything yet.
I'm contemplating building a new ST35 (and / or another ST70... it never ends!) and just thought if it would work then it would be more user friendly for non-audiophiles. No big deal if it wouldn't work.

I received my ST35 via Denmark in trade for a quite rare radio (there, not here). It had not been used for years, and years, and, quite possibly years. For a small room and my AR Athena Sub-Sat system, it is remarkably adept.
I also have a complete transformer set from a donor SCA 35 carcass - rust, missing controls and burnt boards - but the trannies are fine. I am thinking of buying the 'other stuff' and making another ST version. So much to do, so little time.
