Super Pride dx300?

[doughboy]

The pride amps work well for what they are as far as build quality they were actually built with pride in the USA by handicapped people that's how they got the name sometimes you'll even see the meters printed on the back of something else cold solder joints etc but with a little bit of work their great amp 250b tubes are dirt cheap compared to others that make the amount of power they do if you really want to do something to it strip out the supply add two more tubes and add an external plate transformer and eliminate the diode pack with a real regulator circuit

Hello Doughboy: I am not bad mouthing the pride amps, I have both the 300 and 1000 and think there are great amps, as you said for what they are. But the want to modify is always there, human nature I guess.

Looking at the CB Tricks site:

I am sure you could remove the transformers and fan and move the newer transformers to a separate chassie and add a better squirel cage fan, mounted on the back of the chassie, then allowing for more tubes to be installed, or even say a pair of 3CX800's, oh brother.... But the cost and labor would be extensive, probably easier and cheaper to start from scratch. But still it would be nice to have a stock looking Pride DX-300 put the needle in the corner on the 2500 watt scale.
