let me see....you're telling this guy to get a Heath W-2 and hack it to take EL84s? Why? EL84s are lesser performers than 6L6s--higher distortion, lower power. And W-2s do have some collectible value--but not when they've been hacked.

He'd be better off just finding a Scott 222 or Heath AA-151. Or a long list of other vintage EL84 amps. Or far better, getting two W-2s and using them as-is.
