This unit was a garage sale find I was going to restore, but you know how it goes, too many projects, too little time.
First, both channels work on the line level inputs, but the B channel requires playing around with the input and output jacks in order to work properly. The power light bulb is burned out, but the socket has power. The unit is therefore in need of service, and is being sold as is.
There is only one screw holding on the top cover. There are no fe...et. If I can find suitable screws, I will include them.
The 12AX7's are missing. The EF86 tubes are Mullard and the getters look to be in excellent condition. The ECC82 tubes are Siemens Germany and also look to be in excellent condition. I would almost say the tubes look brand new. I have no way of testing them for sure.
See photos for cosmetics. It looks to be all original. The preamp looks to be dual mono past the single power supply, with each channel residing on it's own board including input and output jacks.
The unit will be double boxed and carefully boxed, and insured for the full final auction value.
