Went to one of these once, at the NEC. Didn`t see any boxes though. Lot`s of nice tube stuff though. Expensive. I bought 4 ECL 86 tube, for a rogers amp.

Yes it was all early gear, but now it's mixed early, 70's 80's ect:

Have to be lucky with BB's. I've have not bought one there but have seen some beautys. 

Gota Rogers amp sitting right next to me, running EL84's, pick it up last week.

Litfan, i have the book Audio Audio (Johathan Hill) on vintage amps, and there are lots of Rogers amps listed in it, but i can't work it out, just rang a friend and he said i will have to measure it as it's a Rogers Developments one, early. Has seperate Pre Amp serial No: JP 9353. Amp J 9562

 The book has all the sizes. Take me about a year.

Hi,

Can anyone please advise on the sound quality of Rogers cadet mkii and rogers cadet mkiii.

I've own a cadet ii but wonder is there a huge diff between the two.

 

Thanks

The Mk111 was an amp and control unit  separate until 1964 in 1966 it became an integrated stereo valve amp.
Cadet Mk11,there is stereo one and a mono one.
Mk11 1958-1964
Mk111 1966/70
How do i have this knowledge? Got the book on me lap.

I would be interested in a buy or swap, as i only have one mono unit.
