Stereo 35 Rev C Revised: Sept 3, 2010 Item Reference Part Mouser Part Unit Cost _________________________________________________________________________ Note: I’m assuming this is the area people will improvise most, and with parts they have on hand. I highly recommend parting out a Dynaco SCA-35 as these are the same transformers found the in the highly regarded Dynaco ST-35.
