Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:14789696 |
Beautiful pair of Capehart PP 6L6G audio amplifiers made in the 1950s by Brook. After making 2A3 amplifier for Capehart, Brook audio made these 6L6 amps as some of the very last amplifiers that they built!
Each amp uses two 6L6G, two 5U4G and four 6J5. All tubes included!
These are 16 ohm output.
Very good condition. One amp is near mint and very clean. The other amp is also very nice with some minor paint flaking on chassis.
Each chassis measur...es 17'' x 10'' and each amp weighs about 38lbs each unpacked.
The four RCA 6L6G tubes test 33, 26, 22 and 20 over 25 (considered 60%). The four Sylvania Chrome Top 5U4G test 60-56, 60-60, 58-58, 56-58 over 40-40.
I did not bother to test the 6J5 tubes. There are two glass 6J5 and 6 metal 6J5 included.
The amplifiers themselves have not been tested and are sold as is due to age.
Tubes tested on Dan Nelson calibrated TV7 tester.
Each amplifier will be very well packed to ensure safe shipping. These are untested and sold as is due to age.
