BROUGHT ON SLOWLY ON VARIAC TO 110V (VIDEO). Click the VIDEO button below and see the amp tested and working, transformers good. We used the computer as the music source and plugged into the amp inputs. Before you bid, encourage you to see the video below so you know it is working.
THE TRANSFORMERS ARE HEALTHY AND GOOD - MOST DESIRABLE PART of this f...amous amp
TUBES: SET OF 4 LOW Hours Russian KT88 AND (6) 12BY7A preamp TUBES INCLUDEDNice and Clean chassis. ALL prints / labels are still on the chassis and in the rear. Tubes reading range 88-93%
Work has been done: Power supply electrolytic capacitors which are most critical for tube amp because it is costly to replace the three transformers and easy to mess up during assembly / wiring!!15 ohm Cathode resistors changedResistance and voltage read - within specsHoles on both side chassis to allow better ventilation / cooling and KT88 tubes / other components life extended.ON/OFF switch (rear)
The COSTLY AND IMPORTANT electrolytic capacitors have been changed. THE TRANSFORMERS ARE HEALTHY AND GOOD
The amp is WORKING BUT SOLD AS IS FOR PARTS/REPAIR/RESTORATION BECAUSE IT IS 60 YEARS OLD, VERY BRIEF TESTING PERIOD (5-7 minute SOUNDTRACK) AND MOST SENSITIVE TO PROPER INSTALLATION, CARE and MAINTENANCE. The amp is priced low compared to others on eBay so you have plenty of allowance to replace a part here and there like resistors and potentiometers (pots) ..... or re-arrange things to please your eyes.
