Pilot 602S A tuner amplifier. This is yet another pilot tube amp that has blown my mind. It has been sitting unused for many years. I cleaned the controls. Balance pot still a little scratchy. Probably needs one more spray. I left the tubes it had with the exception of 2 12au7s. They were very low and I replaced with a matching set of strong GE tubes. All the pilot made in Austria 6bq5 tubes are good. 3 are 78% and above one is 61%. You may want to change in the future. I left 3 of the original siemans 12ax7 branded pilot tubes made in West Germany. The other 2 were Raytheon and Ge gray plates. 12at7 original pilot Siemens. So all in all a great set of expensive tubes. Inputs tested and working. With all this said its a vintage unit. You can listen to it as is or replace the old caps and restore to its former glory. Its sounds amazing now. Old units require service. Especially with beautiful well engineered units like this! As you can see this unit is very clean. I think I would just make some custom wood or metal sides. The item “Pilot 602S A Stereo Receiver Am/fm Tube Amplifier Vintage El84 12ax7 Works” is in sale since Wednesday, May 2, 2018.
