Re: Presto Census
K 8 - serial unknown, lathe was orphaned
J 10 - serial 299
A75 - can't find the serial.
The A75 is part of the y model set which I also have, just need to fix the connector from the lathe to the amp.
Can't wait till i get my heads back!

Re: Presto Census


I have two Presto 6N's. One is the suitcase model, but it has no badge...the other was a console model that has a badge. I gave the console model a paint job. I'd love to see if someone had a loose badge to use to make a copy. I think enough folks are missing their badge to justify a small run of replacements.

Presto k8 serial# 1498 with fairchild 541a-727 cuttinghead.
I finally got it dialed in on the recording level. It took some time but it sounds nice with that tube distortion and lo fi ness.
Long live analog sound!
