Were the Mk V1's a good amp? They seem to be pretty rare.

Think of them as a single channel St-70. Same everything in the circuit except the power transformer is smaller.

Re: Dynaco Mk IV's
Are you asking about the Mark 4 or the Mark 6?

Indeed, I read the topic line and missed the "V1" in his question, which would be a "6", not a "4."
Anyway, the Mark 6 (VI) was a 120 watt mono amp from Dynaco that used a 7199 input tube and a matched quad of 8417 output tubes, that were hard to find even when the Mark 6 was being manufactured.
Never seen one in person, much less listened to one.

I have a pair of near mint Mark VI's and 4 quads of NOS 8417's which cost me dearly...

Re: Dynaco Mk IV's
Dearly is putting it mildly. Even single tubes are what ... $85 for decent. Times 8 adds up quickly.
Rumor has it you can convert the amps to use either EL34's or 6550's ...

You can convert them for 6550's with some component changes but I opted to keep the circuit original. I have not used them yet but will do so when I redo my living room and connect them to my Klipsch speakers.

Re: Dynaco Mk IV's
I apologize for the mucked up title. I was asking about the 6's. Thanks for the pictures (gorgeous) they must be the Holy Grail of the Dynacos. Were they offered as kits or were the all factory assembled?
