hello all,
...this is my first post in the forum. I am not too familiar with vintage tube amps and I have some questions on how to hook one up. I have a 'McMartin PA-20', which is a 20 watt P.A. Amp from the late 50s or early 60s. I plan on hooking up the amp to a vintage Jenson 8ohm 12" speaker and use it as an extension unit on a Wurlizter electric piano. But, I am having trouble figuring out what all of the terminals on the back of the unit are used for.
I attached some pics of what I have to give you a better idea. Anyway, there are two terminals marked '8', and I know from testing that these are the speaker terminals, so does the '8' stand for: '8ohm'?
There are also a few other terminals marked: '70.7v' and '25v', what are these used for?
Since I am only using one speaker, I would like to bridge the output, is this even possible on this amp? Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks.
