Vintage Tube Amp

Vintage AKAI M-8 Left & Right 6BQ5 Tube Amplifiers. The amplifiers were tested in the recorder and got power and sound output with the microphone jacks. Both AV meters were tested and working. The sound was a little jumpy/scratchy and the volume knob on the right amplifier feels loose – not turning quite right and probably needs replacement. The tubes have not been tested outside of power and sound testing. The faces on both are in good condition with some light wear and dust. There is some oxidation on some of the metal parts on the back. We are including the transformer and some cords including the AC cord that originally went with the recorder. They do not connect directly to the amps but thought they might be useful. Please see all the photos. The amplifiers each measure 12-1/2 x 5-1/2 x 5. Combined weight of all amps and parts are approximately 23 lbs. If you have any concerns or issues with your order, please reach out to us directly before leaving negative or neutral feedback. We are committed to resolving problems quickly and fairly, and we truly value the opportunity to make things right. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we are here to help!

Up for sale here is this huge. Power transformer, dated 1956 and Made in USA. This was removed from a vintage piece of tube gear from 1956, some sort of medical CRT device that ran 6146 tubes and a big CRT. I tested this, and with a 120v input I tested the secondaries at 920v (yellow pair), 6.42v (thickest wires), 5.15v (pair next to the thickest ones), and each yellow wire to the other wire near them 11v and 24.25v. This is a massive transformer, so it should be good for plenty of current. This is used with light to moderate overall wear, and looks really good. It is guaranteed to work for you. This has some great specs and would be awesome for building a tube amp. Please see my pictures for details and dimensions. If you have any questions, please ask. I have more transformers and other vintage electronics listed–feel free to take a look!
