Can it be done and how hard is it?

I'm not sure if there's a huge difference in the 66 2" Jtm45/100 OT and the Black flag 67 2" OT, but If you're looking to convert it to Black Flag/ 10000 series/67 spec, you could start by converting to EL34 by changing the bias range resister to get into the right range. The difference in PT is a different story. The original 66 had a 550v pt, ( The PT I bought from George for my JTM 45/100 kit was 500v) I can't remember what the typical Black Flag / 10000 series plate voltage is, but 500 will just be a little high..Other than that the values are pretty close. Just a different layout mostly. I say just change the bias range resister, put some El 34's that will handle 500v and see if you like it.

Maybe someone in the know on the OT impedences, and any differences, can chime in

I don't believe it involves changing the iron. Investigate an then change out some cap and resistor values. Your current PT and OT should get you there.

It absolutely needs a different OT unless you want to compensate and mismatch impedance.
And ditto mike on the power trans voltage.
Sorry Steve...

for early 67 you only need a 1202-119 Ot and 4xel34
