I think the current box is very groovy, I could just see my old man trying to find some shortwave station on it. But yer I would buy it if I didn't need to get a cab to go with it.

In push pull the flux due to DC conditions in each of the primary windings balance and cancel out. In a single ended design the DC component of magnetic flux is always present. The "bottom line" is that push pull doesn't need an air gap in the magnetic circuit to function efficiently with a given amount of iron. An air gap is therefore just tits on a bull in a push pull transformer.
From what I remember the air gap works as some kind of magnetic buffer. It prevents that excess DC flux from overheating the core. Not neccesary at all, but probably not detrimental either.
There may well be some secret squirrel boutique tonal effects, but I'm not down with that mojo.

Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.
Got pretty intense at the end there. I was at work (freezing works for the uni holidays) when the auction closed, so I had to text in bids while dodging the supervisor
