Dynaco PAS 3 Restored and Upgraded, Aikido, Z-PH10 Phono, Regulated Power Supply

Description

Here is one very nice highly modified Dynaco PAS 3 preamplifier. The only original parts are the chassis and power switch, all the electronics have been upgraded with new components. It has all the Erhard Audio PAS 3 upgrade/mod kits. The regulated tube rectified power supply, Z-PH10 phono preamp, AIKIDO classic line preamp, rotary position selector switch, LED pilot light with adjustable brightness, gold RCA input/output jacks, Noble volume and balance controls, all new wiring, etc. I also custom mounted the selector switch close to the input jacks to shorten the wiring length and reduce and EMI noise, you can see how I did that in the pictures. New ceramic rectifier tube socket. All the line preamp tubes were replace with new JJ quad matched ECC88S and the phone preamp with new JJ  matched pair 12AY7. The
rectifier
tube is NOS vintage 12X4. I also installed a ground post for your turntable ground.
It sounds wonderful and is dead flat quiet. The phone section is also quiet and has lots of gain for your MM cartridge. This is one nice all tube preamp that would compete with anything out there in the ,000 to ,000 range.
There is no tone section in this preamp. Currently I have the balance control bypassed, but that can be easily rewired if you desired. Cosmetically it is in good condition, but not mint. There are a few scratches on the top. The zinc chassis metal is a bit discolored but there is no rust and the rubber feet are good.  I would rate it a 7 out of 10 overall. You will not be disappointed in the performance of this preamp.
