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!
