It's probably stable to 2 ohms, 4 ohms is safe.

Ed is correct....probably is the operative word on 2 ohms..
I would stick to 4 ohm loads

Better to be safe than on fire...http://

Output transistors for those amps are readily available but the drive transformer is not..
and the FET's in the preamp are also not available...anywhere...so be safe and enjoy your amp at 4 ohms.
