Up for sale here is this vintage Bell 2325 mono tube integrated amplifier, probably from the late 1950s and made in USA. This is a fairly rare and very sought-after amplifier. This is tested and is in working condition. It does play music clearly. However, it has some issues and I strongly recommend that you fully rebuild this before use. A previous owner replaced a few of the under-chassis capacitors, but there are many other original capacitors in there that should probably be replaced. There are two loose wires up by the controls, one of which looks like it was supposed to be unused, but the other one may have come loose from something. This is very dusty or sooty or something on lots of areas–I don’t know what that’s about. The top cover has some sort of damage in the middle–if you want to clean it up, you may have to sandblast it and repaint it. The bottom of the power transformer has a dent but I doubt that affects anything. The faceplate and knobs are in nice condition and look good. Please take a close look at my pictures to understand the condition. This is complete with all covers, hardware, tubes, tube covers, and knobs. It uses a 5U4GB rectifier (GE), 2 6L6 output tubes (unmarked, but I think they’re new Russian tubes), a 12AV6 (probably US-made, but I didn’t look), and 3 12AX7 tubes (I think two are Realistic Made in Taiwan and one is USA-made, but I’m not 100% sure). All tubes are included and seem to work fine, but are not guaranteed. This is tested and does play music. When you initially turn it on (which you do by pulling out the Loudness control), there is a hum that I think comes from the transformer. It does not come from the speakers, but I think from the transformer itself, and it doesn’t entirely go away after startup. I do not know if this is normal. This seemed to play fine, but I would STRONGLY recommend you fully rebuild this before use, especially with that big paper can cap in the bottom. Please see my pictures for details. If you have any questions, please ask. I have a number of other vintage tube stereo components, Magic cards, and other vintage electronics listed–feel free to take a look!

1957 National Aztec Valco 1240T in great, original condition. Aztec, was a National designed amp manufactured by Valco and has a completely different large single speaker approach than earlier Aztec 3 speaker oval speaker type construction. This is the National design built by Valco with Orange identification for each tube socket. Multiple pre amp tubes (some NOS) are included, and offer shielded (can-type) or un-shielded socketing. Cabinet is 18x20x9 which tapers at the top on the back side to 8 inch depth where a mirrored panel provides 2 Regular Inputs, 1 Treble Input, and 1 Microphone Input. 1 Volume & Tone adjust the 3 Instrument Inputs, while 1 Mic Volume Control adjusts the single microphone Input. The “Tone Control” works across all channels, including the Microphone Input. The cabinet houses a single 15 speaker with a closely mounted output transformer mounted to the side of the cab. The upper deck houses the Controls and Power/Fuse/Indicator and other controls. There is a Tremolo footswitch and separate switchable Volume/Depth control with on/off. Power for the unit is operated by the Instrument Volume control. There are three Shielded Tubes also contained in the upper deck. The lower deck at the base houses the power supply and power output tubes, rectifier and transformer. Comes with original 9 foot 2 prong cord. (a three prong grounded adapter will be properly plugged-in). Designed and manufactured for 6L6-type tubes this amp has the higher output version, more closely matching the popular British KT-66. These 6L6 type are 7581A Tubes matched for this National. The 35 watt 7581 over the 30 watt 6L6 usually carry about a 20% higher cost. USA branded logo on the tube glass. Speaker is a 15 inch alnico type. 7581A spec design refers to the 5% higher output over 6L6 type, in all other ways, specification wise, they are functionally equivalent to 6L6 but closer to the KT-66. Speaker directly wired to a secondary off the stand alone mounted output transformer. All the small signal tubes are shielded. 2 are in Can-type octal-sockets and one has a surround shield in a 9-pin. Pictures in the upper deck show the tube type in Orange on a shielded frame under the top of the amp. The AMP base tubes are also are labeled in bright Orange. The amp is relatively quiet until about mid-volume when it begins to demonstrate its power. The Tone range is very broad and pleasant. Due to the typical higher amplification demands of a Microphone the gain seems higher on the MIC channel/Volume, and it is hotter and while the regular inputs bring solid strength to the sound, the Mic input really cuts through and offers and leans towards distortion at higher levels, with an edge. This model utilizes a permanent magnet as demonstrated by holding the knife on its edge in one of the photos. The tweed and faux wood grain have seen their share of loving use and a bit of abuse as well, with corners now well worn as is common for amps with over forty years of use. At this point, the tremolo will wobble about once or twice when the control is switched on, and then stops with no effect on the sound beyond the initial vibes. It has been this way for at least 10 years, and I really never use it anyway, so I never had it serviced, and I did not want the circuitry touched. (no irons have been laid it). I use a 2-3way grounded adapter with it to ensure it is plugged into AC correctly, reversed it’s capable of a shock. In a studio environment, the Aztec was always chassis grounded and’float’ not possible for side chain, and was run’cold’ chassis. The Instrument input uses a 5879 shared with the tremolo circuit, the regular inputs are direct coupled and the treble is. This is the warm tube used in Gibson’s Les Paul amp. The Mic input uses a 6SJ7 and has a grounded cathode without bypass and is de-coupled with a. 01uf capacitor at input. In schematic, it’s even easier to see, the “I” channel and the “M” channel meet up at the post amp before mains at a point where the “Tone Control” is designed to do it’s job. The versatility works great in studio settings. The smoother tone of the 5879 channel can fit many situations, while the hotter 6SJ7 overloads nice. This amp is best suited to anyone looking for’tone’ over distortion. Here is an observation from an individual talking about the 5879 pentode. A 5879 is used in Gibsons GA-40 of the late fifties. This pentode fits the same 9-pin socket as dual triodes (12AX7), but require very different circuitry. The 5879 is known for thick, robust sound and have higher gain factors than a 12AX7, but arent prone to distorting the way that dual-triodes can. A complete set of pre-amp t ubes matching this amp are included in boxes in addition to the ones currently in socket. Note: NO 7581A tubes and NO 6L6 are in ANY “boxed items ” – it ships with 2 7581′s in socket only. The boxed items are New original Old Stock pre amp tubes , and offer replacement for top level Pre-Amp section, one has both GT and CAN choice, for the 9-pin, one tube is used and good, and offers a NOS choice as well. Thanks for looking, and God bless you. Note: If considering for professional road work, I would match it with an Anvil case, have an isolation transformer mounted inside and earth ground the chassis. If the price is too high, then it’s not for you, but thanks for looking and your attention is very much appreciated. It will also have the phased (2-3 way) adapter properly connected to the amp’s original non-phased power plug for safe AC use.

1962 Stereo Tube Amplifier Here’s a beautiful Fisher 6BQ5 amplifier from a 1962 console… I was planning on restoring this myself, but I have no time so thought I would pass it on to someone else. This is all original, straight from the console! The transformers are all good, though due to it’s age this will obviously need a re-cap, etc, before operating. Excellent original condition, has the original Fisher Great Britain 12AX7 ECC83 tubes, both tested very strong, along with the 6BQ5 and 7189 tubes which all tested good too. The RCA 7189 tube showed a short on pin 9. These Fisher amps sound simply awesome, and are getting harder to find… Jimmy O Please see my other vintage Modern items, currently listed!

This is the last year they were hand wired with almost all of it’s original parts in tact. A three prong cord was added for safety and 1K screen resistors were added to prolong the life of the EL34′s. Other than that it looks like 2 of the coupling caps were changed to Orange Drops. The outside of the amp has typical wear for a 44 year old amplifier. The amp sounds phenomenal and it will get LOUD! The inside of this one is CLEAN. The tubes will be removed and bubble wrapped for safety. The item “1973 Marshall 50 Watt JMP Lead Head Vintage Guitar Tube Amp EL34′s Hand Wired” is in sale since Friday, January 26, 2018.

Up for sale, a 1956 Fender Deluxe in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Few circuits are more desired and emulated than the narrow panel Tweed 5E3, and this amp delivers everything you’d expect from a classic and well cared for amp from the last iteration of the Tweed line. Incredibly dynamic and harmonically rich, the Deluxe can be glassy and clear at low volumes, but for most players the magic is in this amp’s overdrive capabilities. Especially when connecting the two channels with a small jumper 1/4 cable, the interactive pair of Volume controls can dial in everything from fully saturated roar and snarl, to the particular sweet buzzy qualities with ideal midrange bite that you often times can’t coax out of any other Tweed circuit. This amp reacts well to a host of effects pedals and different guitars, but truly shines with the guitar plugged straight into the amp, using your volume knob to coax clean rhythm tones and singing leads with the twist of a knob. The circuit is very original and only maintained as strictly necessary, balancing originality and functionality. The preamp features original Stackpole pots and carbon comp resistors, as well as all of the original yellow Astron tone caps. The power amp has been professionally recapped as well, and the new caps have been sleeved in the original Mighty Midget wrappers for a seamless vintage look. Both of the original transformers are intact, and the amp is loaded with a full compliment of vintage tubes including a matched pair of Sylvania 6V6s and General Electric and Amperex valves in the preamp. The speaker is a genuine, era-correct Jensen P12R alnico 12 speaker with an immaculate teal frame and Jensen sticker. This speaker dates back to 1958, and retains the original speaker harness with cloth covered wire and stock 1/4 input as well. The other most pertinent date code is the “FH” stamp on the very clean tube chart, which translates to August of’56. The chrome on the chassis is incredibly clean, shining like few Tweeds still do with all of the original white text present along with stock chicken head knobs. In similar condition, the original tweed and oxblood grillcloth show only light wear on the edges of the enclosure, with ambering of the lacquer on the tweed, and some requisite minor scuffs and corner wear. The leather handle is a modern replacement as is the upper back panel, while the lower back panel is original. It’s an example that will satisfy collectors and serious players alike, and the amp has recently been given a clean bill of health, ready for your next gig or studio session. Check out our shop “Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, ” and please let us know if we can answer any questions! We use double thick boxes, 1″ foam, and industrial 1/2″ bubble wrap to assure that your amp arrives safely.
