Dynaco tube gear and some other cool stuff will gradually show up here.
Unofficial Dynaco Home Page---lots of info, schemos, and links
Dynaco PAS-3 Preamp and Stereo 70 Amp originally built from kits by me in the mid '60s...renovated with Audio by Van Alstine mods in the mid '90s.
My Dynaco gear on a Sun Workstation stereo rack. The modern is obsolete, the ancient is desirable! A new (Panor Corp.) Dynaco DVD player is on top. An FM-5 is also shown.

My Dynaco (Panor Corp.) tube CD player. This has been a great unit...I dub CDRs to my HHb 850 CDR from the Dynaco's digital out.
