This is quality American made hardware made before Lafayette went Japanese sourced. It features high-end audio design cues including output transformers heavy on the iron, four EL86 power output tubes rated 50 Watts from two channels, two 7199 tube gain stages and phase splitter, 12AX7 pre-amplifier stages, and a hum-free DC filament supply. This particular’Made In USA tube stereo amplifier was found unmodified from from its original design but badly in need of repair. An experienced electronic engineer repaired and corrected the electrical faults and replaced the defective circuit elements. This included replacing all electrolytic capacitors and critical high voltage coupling tone capacitors plus other out of tolerance components. All tubes were tested and the weak and defective ones were replaced. The balance and quiescent plate current for each of the push-pull outputs was then adjusted according to factory specs. All switches were cleaned with Deoxit D5 and pots cleaned and lubricated with Deoxit F5. Some panel knobs were replaced. A new power cord was installed with a polarized plug. The chassis, case and cover were dusted and cleaned to remove years of dirt and grime as best as possible and the front panel is amazingly crisp and markings brilliant considering it is nearly 65 years old. All this resulted in a Stereo amplifier that delivers great tube performance. The warm glow of the tube filaments and neon pilot lamp conjure thoughts of nostalgia and the sound is pure sonic joy. And don’t you just love the retro angled feet. It is ready to be your daily listen for hopefully another 65 years. Copy of original Lafayette Electronics User Instructions will be included. Input Selector for Aux, Tuner, Phono (mag or ceramic cartridge), Tape Head (with a Tape output jack on chassis). Bass and treble tone controls for left and right channels. Volume/Balance control with clutch to adjust each channel separately or together. Separation control from full stereo to full mono. Switches for “A Amplifier” and “B Amplifier” allow you to select Normal Stereo, Reverse Stereo, or Mono. Switch for “Loudness”. Switch for “Phase” normal or reverse speaker connections (one channel). A “Bridged Output” jack is on the rear panel that can possibly be used with a powered. Speaker connections can be 4, 8, or 16 OHMS for left and right channel. Tube complement : 4 – EL86 (Lafayette, RCA branded), 2 – 7199 (Amperex, RCA branded), 3 – 12AX7 (RCA, TEN, Knight branded). Rectification: 3 – Silicon Diodes. Chassis mounted power supply fuse. At +/- 0.5 db. 77 db below rated output. Were not measured on this unit so not guarantied.

For sale is a vintage, cute. Lafayette LA-214 Tube Stereo Amplifier, EL84/6BQ5 Single-Ended, All Vintage Tubes. I tested the amp (using headphones because the speaker posts are kind of rusty and questionable). All tubes lit up OK but I only get music on LEFT channel, with cracking noise sometimes when I adjust the knobs. Sometimes the signal simply got cut off. So, the electric contacts are not very stable. I then swapped the power tubes, but only had loud hum on the right channel. I stopped my testing right there. So, I believe the amp may have all transformers fine, but needs service/repair to get it back to normal. Not sure about the tubes condition. Physical condition is fair, as you can see in the pictures: rust, discoloration, dust, etc. One screw on the top cover is missing. I have other audio equipment, like.
