This is an early Sansui SM-32 hi-fi stereo tube receiver/amplifier. The unit is untested. I have not powered it on and do not know its operating condition. It is also missing some of the vacuum tubes, so it should be gone through by a qualified technician before any attempt is made to use it. Cosmetic condition is shown in the photos. The chassis has oxidation/corrosion, age wear, dirt, scratches, and other typical vintage wear. The faceplate presents fairly well overall, but there are flaws and wear visible. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. Includes the Sansui SM-32 unit only, as pictured. No extra tubes, covers, manuals, or accessories are included unless shown in the photos.

Vintage RCA MI-9289-B professional tube power amplifier, offered in as-found and untested condition. The chassis is factory marked MI-9289-B and retains its RCA identification plaque marked Radio Corporation of America, Meadowlands, PA, serial number M2004. The amplifier appears largely original and unrestored internally, retaining its large transformers, meter assembly, controls, wiring, tube sockets, and extensive original-era components as pictured. The amplifier retains tubes in the chassis positions marked RCA-6SN7GT, 12AY7, RCA-6L6GC, and both RCA-0D3 positions. All four factory-marked 6550 output tube positions are empty. The installed tubes have not been tested and are included as found. Cosmetically, the amplifier shows considerable wear from age, use, and long-term storage, including dust, grime, oxidation, discoloration, scratches, and general surface wear throughout. The meter is present and the front controls move mechanically. No attempt has been made to clean or cosmetically restore the unit. Due to its age and apparently unrestored condition, I have not attempted to apply power to the amplifier. It is completely untested and should be inspected and serviced by a qualified technician prior to use. No representation is made regarding the electrical condition of the transformers, tubes, capacitors, meter, or other components. This is an exceptionally substantial piece of vintage RCA professional audio equipment and is being offered as pictured for restoration. Please review all photos closely for exact condition, configuration, components, and completeness. Items come from a smoke & pet free home. Reference the photos and description carefully to see the quality of the exact product you will receive. Please reach out with any questions!
Up for sale is a beautifully authentic piece of 1950s American audio history: an original, vintage 1952 Oahu Chicago 51 vacuum tube combo amplifier, proudly handwired in Chicago, Illinois by Valco. This compact, low-wattage studio powerhouse is legendary among recording guitarists and blues harmonica (“harp”) players for its warm, vibrant clean tones and its thick, gritty, natural mid-range overdrive when pushed. ###128203; Provenance & Dating. Serial Number: X49843 (Stamped on the original rear metal badge, firmly dating production to 1952). Front Badge: Features the classic blue and bronze Oahu Publishing Co. Badge in fantastic shape.

The amplifier powers up, passes audio cleanly, and controls function. It sounds absolutely killer with a gritty vintage breakup at perfect studio volumes. Tolex & Cabinet: Shows authentic vintage mojo and wear. The original cream faux-crocodile tolex covering has significant peeling, tears, and missing material on the upper corners, exposing the underlying wooden cabinet. Component Wear: The amp retains its original brown, ungrounded 2-prong power cord and vintage Mallory multi-section filter capacitor block. Like all electronic equipment from this era, it is highly recommended to have a professional vintage amp technician inspect it, convert the power cord to a modern grounded 3-prong safety cable, and evaluate the 70+ year old chemical filter capacitors for prolonged, safe modern use.

Up for sale is one H. I powered it up with a Variac Transformer. This could be a great project for someone who wants to tinker. Manufactured in the late 1950s (around 1958). It includes a multiplex output jack anticipating future external stereo decoders before the FCC officially approved the FM stereo standard in 1961. Utilizes a direct-drive tuning setup through a planetary gearset (vernier tuning) rather than a traditional springy dial-string. Built using Scott’s wide “C” case/chassis format.
