6BM8 SE amp from r2r

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

24.22.93.125

A Roberts 1650 Reel to Reel followed me home from the local GW. The tube line-up is 6CA4 rectifier, (1) 12AT7, (2) 12AX7s and (2) 6BM8 EL82s. I brought it up and using a CDP as input and it all worked. Now, What do I do with it? My thought was to make a small, compact office/bedroom system with it driving some 4 inch "full range" speakers and a secondary powered sub. I'm only a beginner here so be nice: I assume the 12AT7 is a phase spliter and the 12AX7s are inverters. Would this amp be using both parts of the 6BM8? Is there a schematic for this arrangement that someone may have for me to look at and study? Should I stick with this design or is there a better way to use this amp. Is it capable of somewhat decent high fidelity? My plan is to scavenge parts and rebuild it with new capacitors, etc. I do not think the R2R is worth much for a collector.
Thanks,
Dave
