Made in England vintage 1970′s Sound City 120B 120 Watt bass amplifier head. This head is a BEAST and while these heads are not for everybody they. Have built a loyal following over the years. He was afraid to plug it into a cabinet for fear that this mighty head might blow the speakers! I have since tested it out, plugging it into a Peavey 4×12 guitar cabinet. To my ear it sounded pretty good, and did not blow any speakers in the cabinet despite its power. Having been in storage for years I’m sure it could use some work. It has six (count’em six) EL34 power tubes providing the 120 watts, three of which of the legendary vIntage Mullard EL34 power tubes, which I believe to be the original tubes. Of the 3 additional replacement EL34′s one is a vintage RCA, one a vintage GE and one a vintage Sylvania, all well respected tubes in their own right. All of the preamp tubes are Brimar (again, probably the original tubes). Two Partridge Transformer, which is what these heads originally came with. One does look newer so I don’t know if that might be a replacement. I can see that at least 3 of the pots have been replaced as they don’t match the rest. Some scratchiness in some of the pots. One of the knobs in the front was missing so I replaced that one with a “chicken head ” knob. I used to sell a lot of guitar amps on here and in the past I would have taken a head such as this to an amp tech and would have paid hundreds of dollars to have them go through the amp and restore it prior to listing it. I will guaranteee it will power on. The general consensus (from what I’ve read in online threads) regarding these heads is that they could use some mods to improve their sound and playability, although there is some dispute as to the optimum mods. Cosmetically this head is (in my opionion) in pretty good shape for a 40+ year old head. One small nick in the front bottom left section of the tolex but otherwise no rips or tears in the original tolex. Some wear in the top tolex and elsewhere. I have priced this head taking into account the need for resoration and repair and would be listing it for MUCH more were it already restored.

Check out Ampstack on Facebook. Selmer PA 100/6 S. Six channels, two reverb, two high impedance with the echo loop, two plain. The reverb is built in, the echo is a loop needing an external unit. This is a really serious device, really heavy, lot of iron, with a choke. Fully serviced and recapped. Pictured without valves as back ordered, but biased up for a set I have about, or can do a deal unvalved. Obviously this is a heavy lump, but I can have it couriered, would massively prefer collection though. The item “Selmer PA 100/6 S. V.

One of the greaest guitar amplifiers ever made. The no compromise engineering led to a high price and not really breaking the mainstream, but Status Quo, Thin Lizzy and Killing Joke used Burman amp when they could afford them. Lots of gain available with Burman stacked gain controls, active mid gives crazy EQ range compared to crude FMV tone stacks. Recapped, revalved, had a life though, so beat up. Obviously this is a heavy lump, but I can have it couriered, would massively prefer collection though.

The photos shown here are of several different amplifiers, meant to provide an example of the units offered for sale. Yours will look like the ones in these photos. Some pictures may show different brands of tubes. The tubes that are included are described in this listing. A Vintage Vibe with Modern Reliability. So how does it sound? Very musical with a highly detailed imaging & voice and plenty of solid, clean wonderful bass. This amp is absolutely dead quiet – no hum, no buzz, no hiss, no snap-crackle-pop! It sounds like it is supposed to. If you’re in search of that golden age of audio sound with stunning vintage looks, you’ve just found it. This is your bad boy. This is a 100% brand new amp, a very high quality build, total listening satisfaction. This ST-70 delivers dramatically improved sonics as the result of being carefully and thoughtfully built, all new, from the ground up, with technologically advanced components and all high-end parts. Is used with only a couple of re-engineered elements on the PCB solder traces to accommodate the 6GH8A tubes without having to use an adapter. Enjoy the rich smooth tones of analog audio and even order harmonics that only vacuum tube amplification can produce. It reveals musical qualities with fantastic realism and depth you may have never imagined possible. The legendary original design up to date with highly improved levels of sound quality, looks and performance. Because of the ST-70′s naturally high impedance (470K) it is compatible with virtually any solid state or tube preamp. This amplifier puts out 70 watts total, 35 watts per channel. It is fairly safe to say that most people today would have no idea of how wonderful a Stereo 70 amplifier is capable of sounding like. “Original condition” amps or those “updated” or having any number of “modifications” from mild to wild can still leave a lot to be desired. “Restored” is more than popping in a few capacitors and some tubes. Much more will need to be done to fully bring about that great sound the amp once had. Although they will play music, they are still incapable of reproducing the sound quality they possessed when new, 50 years ago unless they are fully restored. Resistors become noisy and drift out of tolerance due to age and heat. Circuit board and component materials begin to deteriorate causing signal degradation, solder joints and tube sockets can be loose, oxidized, worn and have poor quality connections causing signal interference and noise. Capacitors lose their range and clarity, their values having changed with time. Hiss, buzz, hum, pop and fuzziness are not normal or desirable qualities. Isn’t the great smooth sound of a time long gone by what you’re really after, those sweet tones produced only from tube amplification? Like a musical time machine, this amplifier will take you back to the beginning, like when these amps were new. But there’s even more to consider here. All of the components used in this amplifier have greatly improved characteristics over the ones available and used 50 years ago. That makes the sound quality of this amp even better than one would have been then, as a new one 50 years ago. Take a good close look at this one. Don’t cheat yourself out of what you’re really wanting; superb sound, high build quality, safe and reliable operation, great looks and that comforting pride of ownership. Pay particular attention to the size (height) of the power transformer on this amp (the middle one). Transformers are the heart and soul of a tube amp, period. Dynaco wasn’t messing around when they designed and built their originals. Notice how tall this new Dynakit transformer is compared to the original Dynaco PA060 power transformer. This is a real case of bigger is better. These new Dynakit transformers were reverse engineered from the original Dynaco designs using modern technologies and insulations. An increased lamination stack on this power transformer allows it to run cooler and provide better regulation. These transformers wont buzz or hum like the originals often do either. A major factor to consider here too is that the original transformers were designed to run from yesterday’s 117 Volt household current. Today’s household current is often 125 Volts or more so the use of a “step down” or “bucking” transformer is necessary to retard the voltage down to a safe operating level for amps having the original transformers. The new transformers are made for today’s higher household currents or VAC (Voltage). These transformers can be operated directly from your household outlets without secondary devices needed to reduce the voltage. These are USA made transformers that meet and exceed every aspect of the originals. If there were some sort of “magic” in the use of cloth leads, Dynakit would have certainly insisted on using them again. There’s simply no magic in cloth covered lead wire, period, it is inferior. In any comparison, these new transformers are just better than those old originals. Modern advancements in materials, methods and technologies used in the production of these transformers has resulted in superb transformers that operate quieter and cooler than the originals while providing less distortion, more power with increased reliability. The new A470 output transformers are also greatly improved, like the power transformer. The output transformers are interleaved/layer-wound and incorporate high quality M-6 grain oriented laminations. These also use better quality wire with better insulation, the primary is wound the same as the original A470 using the same number of turns on the same number of sections. These are made using the same patented Dynaco winding method, and made on the same core size and material type as the originals. These transformers are in one word, exceptional. I have selected the Groove Tubes 5AR4/GZ34 as the rectifier tube in my Dynaco 70′s for more than 2 years now. It has the highest current capability and has been 100% reliable, it also looks right at home in the amp. I believe it to be the best current production rectifier tube of its type on today’s market. Same story for the NessTone EL34/6CA7 tubes, they’re all I use now. These output tubes are hand selected and tested here in the USA and then identically matched as a quad (4 tubes) by their plate current test. Results using the ROE computerized testing system. I have had nothing but satisfied buyers and zero failures, they sound amazing. This amp also comes with 2 NOS Mullard or Amperex (as requested) 6GH8A tubes, tested and matched. The 6GH8A like the 7199 tube is a vacuum tube combining both a pentode and triode in a single glass envelope. Each section has a separate cathode and is electrically independent, the pentode is used for the input stage, and the triode as a phase inverter. The Dynaco ST-70 Series II came from the factory with a 6GH8A driver board and tubes. According to Dynaco published research and literature the 6GH8A tube actually outperformed the 7199! I also offer this amp in a 7199 version, identical in build with the exception of the 7199 driver board and tubes. The photos show the ST-70 using the updated Dynakit PC-3 board made for 6GH8A tubes. Amplifier makers like HH Scott, Harman Kardon and Eico, among others, have used the 6GH8A since back in the late 50′s. I honestly find no audible difference in the 7199 and the 6GH8A so long as both tubes are of equal quality. Good quality tubes are essential for the overall sound quality simply because they are a part of the circuit, the circuit can only sound as good as it’s parts will allow. Good circuit design is critical, the Dynaco circuit is genius. The 6GH8A, also no longer in production, appears to be in abundant supply and is very affordable. Like all tubes, some brands and build styles offer both sonic and reliability advantages over cheaper, inferior made tubes. This amp comes with. 2 NOS Mullard or Amperex (as requested). 6GH8A tubes, tested and matched. Tube installation instructions with a numbered easy to follow pictorial is included. Bias will be pre-set but due to variations in AC wall voltages the bias should be checked and adjusted as necessary for your specific location. Proper bias is essential for best sound quality and performance of the amplifier. Proper bias is also key to getting the most life out of your tubes. You are responsible for proper bias adjustment and maintenance, you will need a voltmeter that measures/reads DC volts and a small slot head screwdriver to turn the adjusters and to remove and reinstall the amplifiers cover. Bias should be set to 1.56 volts DC. Each unit is custom, a hand built, made to order unit. Your unit will look identical but wire color and routing may be slightly different from unit to unit, these are hand built units. Turnaround time is running 4-5 weeks right now. The manual with instructions, pictorials, diagrams, schematics and supplemental documentation is included.

Not fully sure what to call this one, but reckon it was a Sola Sound branded Vampower build originally, but the clipped off front panel might have been factory, no real need to have clipped it off for the presumably new sleeve in its history. Other half of the intact example had the model SS100. Its basically a vampower, with the bite control. Clearly had a life, and seems to have a power resistor that wasn’t soldered at one end from new, but it apparently worked enough to have been used a lot. Put new caps in underneath the chassis to retain the symmetry on the top, few resistors and such replaced inside. The built in’bite’ distortion is not to my taste, the clean is mighty, but think that distortion is part of the Vampower magic people are after. Obviously this is a heavy lump, but I can have it couriered, would massively prefer collection though.
