Vintage Tube Amp

Please note that this is only listed as parts because it is 100% untested and has yet to be plugged in after sitting safely in climate controlled storage for many years – Ensuring you have the opportunity to safely bring the capacitors & tubes on a Variac to help preserve their integrity. All of the tubes are present and appear healthy from a visual inspection. Cord is very healthy and extremely hydrated and supple. Unit is in excellent shape for its age with minimal markings / scratches. Ready for a new loving home.

Removed from service several years ago. Replaced all electrolytic capacitors. View last images showing before and after. First time turning on was with variac control. Ran for 1/2 hour and noticed one top mounted capacitor failing so replaced all. The chassis mount caps were left for aesthetics, but are disconnected. The failed cap has been repaired enough to show as original. Tubes have been checked on a Hickok TV-7 tester and values marked on them.

THIS COMES AS PICTURED. I WOULD GUESS IT NEEDS THE WAX AND PAPER CAPS REPLACED AT LEAST JUST TO BE SAFE. IT WILL COME WITH ALL THE TUBES SHOWN. ALL OTHERS TO USE EIS.

Vintage mid-1950s Heath Company hand-built Heathkit W3M “Williamson Type” mono tube amplifier and companion Heathkit WA-1 Power Supply in good working condition (see video). Appears to all original and unmolested. No hum and very good cosmetic condition for its age. Amazing that these were engineered so well that its working great after 70 years. All vintage tubes made in USA. Acrosound TO-300 “ultra-linear” output transformer. Being so old, it should be checked out by a qualified tech to replace any out of spec or obsolete components. The only issue I noticed was the multi-pin connected cable needs to be manipulated to find a sweet spot to make a connection, so there must a loose or frayed wire in cable end. Nice mono amp for your vinyl audio system or part of a tube stereo set-up. Heathkit W-3M Tube Amplifier & WA-1 Power Supply – YouTube. These are automatically added to the final invoice and I’m not able to delete or adjust them.

One side was professionally restored recently due to not correctly outputing audio. I’m located in Staten Island, New York. Built by Robert Judge from Judge Amps in Somerville MA, wonderful sounding, built from scratch. Each block is very heavy, especially for how small they are: about 34 pounds each. THEY ARE ONE OF A KIND, BEING RARE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. You’ll be the only one around with a pair of these, in the world, these do not exist anywhere, so, if your an audiophile tube person, or just a HI-END tube person then these are definitely for you.

Vintage The Fisher 500C FM Tube Stereo Receiver Amplifier (Most Original Tubes). Pre owned in working condition. I assume from the age, a cleaning and deoxit could be usefull. This has many original tubes The Fisher Germany. Missing gold round knob end plate on speaker selector knob. When testing the balance knob when turned all the way to the right does not direct audio just to right speaker. Left is fine, and when balance is centered, both speakers play correctly. I assume the potentiometer knob needs deoxIT due to age and oxidation. Please see video and photos, if you have any other questions, I will try my best to answer. See pics above.

Everything appears to be there to make a self contained guitar amp, or head. Uses a 6×5 rectifier, 6v6 power tubes, and 6sn7 with dual 6sc7 preamp tubes – tubes are all vintage.

I didn’t try to turn it on. Tube gear can be dangerous even when unplugged. Capacitors inside can hold hundreds of volts. Exposed wiring = shock risk.

I do a lot of business with them and they always have well cared for gear. Not saying it won’t need adjustments but, it looks like a nice clean unit.
