wow, has just about everything.

Am I right to believe that the official color if the 327 1948 is green ?
By the way, what ever color you decide to use, what type of paint is used?
There must be special type of paint! And where is it obtained from?

Is there a Kanter link ?

Hi Gary
?
As best I can make out from the poor quality scan, your valve line-up is as follows, with possible alternatives in brackets:
2 off 7A7 (CV877)
2 off 7C5 output pentodes, working in push-pull . No substitutes made
1 off 7C4 rectifier (U149). This is a little odd as the valve has a different and larger base than the others, but it seems to be the correct one.
1 off 7B6 detector/LF amp, double diode triode type. (CV882)
1 off 7B8 (VT208)
1 off 7A4 phase-splitter (VT192)

You may have problems locating these valves in the UK. In the first instance I suggest that you telephone Geoff Davies on?01788 574774. Geoff deals in valves and other components. You can mention my name, if you wish. If he can't help, then do a Google search for valve suppliers. This could be a longish process and you may need to contact more than one in order to get a full set of valves.
Of course you could also post a wanted thread for them on the Vintage Radio Forum. You never know!

Hope this helps a little.

Is the 327 Engine regarded as a good engine or bad?
Is it a strong engine? And does it have any weakness ( like blowing it's head gasket)? Etc. What's your thoughts on this engine ?

Paul, did the tapping work? Is all ok now?

Is it true that the earth wire on the 1948 super eight is live? Does this cause any problems when you have flat battery and you want to jump start?

some nice looking ones. In top picture, were those white knobs origional?, or added on?
