| Subject: | Compass Amplifier Tubes |
I've replaced the tubes in the compass amplifier, but I can't remember now
what the equivalents were. The tube base says 6x6 and 6k8 but a google
search finds nothing easily found for the 6x6. Underneath is it says 6 (2
k's back to back) 6c I'm not sure if that back to back k symbol is meant to
be translated as a K.
Any help would be appreciated.
I know I an just buy the whole amp, but I've seen this symptom before where
the needle just goes round and round, and tube replacement fixed it.

Ernie,
Actually the truth is that it is normally NOT a bad tube. It is normally
just dirty or corroded connectors. Use a SS or brass brush to clean the
contractors, 90% of the time if fixes the problem.
I know of no tube available here in the US which will replace those in the
FL-3. If anyone out there has this information please share it as these
tubes are very hard to find. In fact I have not been successful in the
last 3 orders to China, I have been able to buy only new and overhauled
FL-3s, but no tubes.

Ernie,
We carry the US made brake cables which have the MS stainless steel ball
swaged on the end of the cable, instead of the gob of lead solder which is
on the stock cables from China. You will need a nico press tool to install
a new cable in your CJ.
Best,
Doug

| Subject: | Re: Compass Amplifier Tubes |
I'm working on the tubes now. I was able to find the 6k8, but not the 6x6,
but then again, I may have read it wrong. If you know the proper lettering
I'll do the research. I know that I did source tubes on my old CJ, and
there were American equivalents. Theres nothing much more to go wrong in
these amps.
Thanks

The new cable is installed from the bottom up, you use the nico press to
clamp the cable at the brake handle. Any mech worth his salt has a tool,
the swage is included with the cable.

I do believe that they are the same as used on the Nanchang. We do have
the Nanchang "marker" lights and lens in stock. Please contact me off list
if you would like to order.
