    Hi all,
    I just received a ST-70 to restore that has a Sutherland Engineering solid state board instead of the usual PCB with 7199's. I will be installing a used original board my customer supplied, after recap of course. The SS board is dated 1988, Any opinions on this?

    Regards,
    Sal

    That's interesting.

    Looks like the board is missing a transistor compared to DynacoPhil's.

    How does it sound?

    I never tried the ST-70 with the SS board especially with the transistor missing. I still have that board in a junk pile. Might play with it one decade.

    sound is fine for me, but not my favourite st-70.
    My is in need because the builder was a solder magician and did a "good" job making solder mountains Suspect instead of joints. He molested the chassis trying to drill out the rivets and additional useless holes... Crying or Very sad it'll get a new chassis or a good used some day. He also managed to destroy the bias board traces while soldering and I had to free-wire-repair his job. It was working when it arrived, but by mistake I guess.

    I believe I ave some reedited datasheets somewhere about which I received with the amp...
