What do you mean by PT?
So there is nothing and will be nothing available for the RM4 and RT2/50?

I think there will be but they need the trannys,chokes etc. to measure them before they can make them.Mercury does make an exceptional product,probably one of the best.unconventional said:What do you mean by PT?

Do you think is ther a big difference if i put in the PT or not, but then i would wait.
Thanks

When the PT is available what do you think would it cost. So i can calculate and maybe i have to safe money.
OT: Can you look at my thread with the SL+ low volume. I switched the tubes but no effect what part can be broken so that there is no volume
Thanks

Lets see if i remember correctly the choke affects the sag/stiffness of the power amp. So if you like that aspect of your amp don't change it.
If the PT is putting out to high of a voltage just adjust the dropping resistors in the PS less than 50?. Now if you want to run bigger Octal tubes than what the stock PT will safely supply then yes you should change the PT, but you don't need MM PT any with the proper specs will do. You can easily test this buy running your amp and using the touch test to make sure it's not getting to hot. You should be able to wrap your hand around the PT and it just be warm.
The OT will change your tone if it's an improvement that's up to You. You may need a different OT if you want to run bigger octal tubes. If you like the sound of OT core saturation distortion than you don't necessarily want a bigger OT as long as your OT not running hot.
