Subject: sad news for Dynaco maintainers and modifiers

I just got the latest mailing from Sound Values.  As of 12/1/92, they
no longer are in the business of selling Dynaco parts.  They retained
only about 40 types of parts, mostly capacitors, transformers, tubes,
and a few of the unreliable power switches (PAT-4 lighted).  The
capacitors include a Quad cap for everything but the MK III.  (Nobody
will make 550V capacitors anymore.)

I guess they are too busy building the new Stereo 70 Mark 2's for
Panor.  I would have been happier if they had done a "last buy"
announcement first.  Of course, they were already out of most of the
parts that tended to need replacing, like the pots.

They also have a Stereo 70 power transformer that "does not require"
the GZ34/5AR4 rectifier.  I don't really know what that means.  Lower
B+ for safe voltages with silicon diodes?  I dunno.

They also are offering replacement metalwork for your rusty Stereo 70.
About $300.

They are going to re-issue an enhanced Mark III.  No price.
