You are bidding on a working pair of Western Northern Electric theatre R4A Mirrophonic Mono Tube Amplifiers with built in Microphone Preamplifier for hi impedanc...e mikes and with the insertion of a plug in transformer (not included) low impedance mikes as well as a phono preamp with hi impedance input.These amplifiers were used in movie theatres from the mid 1930s . Each amplifier features the original output and power transformers .The output tubes on the schematic are 6V6G but as the manual states 6L6GA tubes can beused for 15 watt output instead of the 12 watt output with 6V6G tubes with no wiring changes.
The amp uses two 6J7 tubes for preamps and a 6SN7 for phase inverter and a 5Y3 for a rectifier
Northern Electric was the Canadian Branch of the Western Electric company and they shared many designs and parts etc..The amplifiers have just been tested and they both are in good working order. I Hooked them both up for about 30 min each and played music through them. They both sound very nice with no hum or any issues. They are very loud for a 6V6 amp and could power a large room easily. One amp has recently been serviced with the volume pots and a can capacitor being replaced to make it usable. The original parts will be included. The other amp is stock with the exception of an added XLR input jack for the dynamic microphone input. Due to the age they will most likely need a cap job and service by a tech to be usable for long time play. They did not have any issues after 30 min of play time each but due to the age I can not give any guarantees on vintage electronics. So please be advised these are being sold as parts/repair and sold as is. Vintage electronics are sold as is with no guarantee or warranty. Sold as parts repair.
