Mr V_D:

Congratulations. Looks like a real beauty. Are the wood end panels part o the original design?

You seem to have some experience with eBay. How safe has it been to ship equipment across the ocean?

So far, shipping has been reliable for me (knock on wood) and some other guys I know who buy stauff off ebay. Check the seller's feedback and guage how well he responds to your email inquiries.

I agree that the ST35 really sounds sweet. I got one with the original intention of reselling it at ebay but when I found out that it was rather rare and also listened to it, I decided to keep it. I'm sure a DIYer could make one as all parts can be ordered including the circuit board and replacement transformers.

I'm not sure whether those yellow caps?/resistors? are original. Mine didn't have those nor the one at tnt-audio. The rest seems pretty much original including the power cord. I've replaced my speaker connectors, rca's and power cord. The power cord (belden 83802), based on one of j. risch designs, provided a huge improvement. Soundstage was bigger and definitely tighter and punchier bass.

tnt, thanks for your comment.

I've only heard this amp once and it was later version. No intention to go for this one due to limited budget.
