Vintage 1950s Pye High-Fidelity HF 5/8 Valve / Tube Amplifier / Amp – READ. A vintage 1950s British. Pye High-Fidelity monoblock valve amplifier. It shows evidence of age (for example, the tops of the transformers, and exposed screw heads, have surface rust). There are NO guarantees with this item. The internal components appear to be mostly original, so this should be good guide for restoration. We expect that most of the 60 year old internal components are too old to be relied on, and would need to be replaced. We have tested the valves individually on an Avo valve tester. It uses a GZ32 rectifier, EL90 and ECC81 valves, and ALL valves test very strong on the test meter. What you see in the photos is what you will receive. If you cant see something, then it is not included. Remember with valve amplifiers that they MUST have a load attached before they are plugged in, or serious damage may occur. This means that you MUST attach a speaker to it before you turn it on. Failure to do so may result in components burning out instantly. Therefore, when you receive it, do NOT be tempted to plug it in to see what it does – take your time to work out how to attach a speaker before trying it out. We suspect that this hasnt been used for 20-30 years as we personally removed it from the workshop of an elderly gentlemen who died recently and it was buried under a mountain of other stuff. For this reason, we suggest that it is powered up very gently using a Variac in order not to shock any internal components with a sudden voltage spike from being turned on for the first time in 30 years. _gsrx_vers_811 GS 7.0.9 (811).
