DYNACO Mark-III

Commentary

A tube type monaural power amplifier developed by Dynaco.

The output transformer differs according to the manufacturing period, and A-431, Z-216, ZT0195, etc. are adopted depending on the age.
"Interview with David Hafler(2000)According to an overseas article, when Mark-III was released, Acrosound was not available due to patent issues, and it was used by a transformer manufacturer called TRESCO, which was close to Dinako (thank you for pointing out).
In the 1976 Herman-era catalog photograph, ZT0195 was used, and the catalog described it as an output transformer developed by Acrosound. I didn't know who produced this ZT0195, so I was not sure if it was manufactured by Acrosound or only developed (or designed by David Hafler, the founder of Dynaco and Acrosound).
* Please let me know if you know the detailed information such as manufacturing, development, development only, developed by Mr. Hafler, etc.

6550 (KT-88) is adopted for the output tube, and high power is obtained by the push-pull system.
