I was working from memory and I couldn't remember now if the speaker is fed from the cathode/anode connection of the EL/UL via a capacitor or if it was in the anode of the UL. Seems from Michael that it's fed from the cathode/anode via a cap so it more closely resembles the Bi-ampli circuits. When I heard one of these in the 60's, it really worked well despite it's unusual configuration.

As Andy says, highly restorable and it should work very well. What do you do if the speaker is O/C though?

Rich.
