Default Re: Ferrograph 4A: Restoration advice needed

Embarrassingly, after all this, I opened the lid of my Ferrograph and was reminded that it is in fact a 2N, not a 4. What I think I will do is install a new stereo head (I have quite a good sekection) and use outside amplifiers, as above. I only need it for playback.

Reason I wanted to modify an existing MC preamp (rather than build from scratch) is because of the one thing four decades of DIY electronics taught me: The hardest part of any project (other than making the PCB) are the enclosure, jacks, switches, labels and the power supply and those are what commercial manufacturers provide to perfection.
