This amplifier has not been tested in any way. It is as found. It has a line cord that is included but not attached. It has some of the tubes but does need four tubes number 6GW8. It is sold in "AS IS" condition. I do not accept returns. Please be sure it is the item you want before bidding. This is a NO RESERVE item. I will package this item up extremely well to protect it during shipment. I am including a 9 page manual for a Lafayette LA-224B which is very similar to this unit. It mi...ght prove to be helpful.
I did see a review of this amp and I copied the review for you in BLUE. I just got one of these amps about a month ago, and honestly, for the cheap price I paid, it really delivers more than I had ever imagined. The imaging is good, the sound is crystal clear. I can't even really explain it. It's like being there. I have a small square listening room with this amp in it, and it's not even hooked up to great speakers, but the sound of this amp is just totally unexpected. I am going to try and get some high efficiency speakers for this amp, as it's power output isn't that high unless you really crank it, and that doesn't seem like the thing to do. However, strangely, I find myself listening to it at a lower volume than with my other tube amp, and I enjoy it even more. There's just so much detail. My other amp is a recent tube amp that cost about $1000, but this thing which I got for way less just seems so much clearer. I've never had a vintage stereo amp before, but if this isn't close to top of the line, I'm sure I'll be constantly amazed at my trip up the ladder.
All that being said, the information on this model, or ever this brand of stereo amplifier is pretty sparse online, and the price i got it at seems stupid low for the quality. is this amp a sleeper? does anyone have any more information on it? I figure I'll have to buy a manual from some website that does that kind of thing (unless someone has a pdf).
All in all, I am VERY satisfied with this amp. When I bought it, it had crap pictures, so I was sure I could resell it with a nice profit, but I've fallen in love with the thing and probably won't get rid of it until I find an amp I love more, which honestly may take a while.end of review.
I found a manual including a schematic for the B version of this amp. I will include this bound copy.
INTERNATIONAL SALES: Note, I ONLY ship to a USA PayPal address. Please only bid IF you have a USA shipping address. If you have someone at the USA address that will re-ship to your country that is wonderful.
Other items. There were several other amps that I bought. Please keep an eye on items I will be listing. I also bought an HP Distortion Analyzer. Let me know if you wish me to list it for sale here on eBay. Shipment parameter: I ship the same or the next day after your payment, through ebay, shows up in my bank account. Please keep this in mind. This is the way it must be since I not trust ebay nor the new method I was forced to accept or get off ebay.
