Vintage Tube Amp

Consider how this is a very special amplifier, really a piece of music history, and not something you can find easily in a store. Then it will RETURN to the older price. SUPERB vintage VOX amp, good working condition, biased correctly etc, SOUNDS GREAT. This amp has the multivoltage type of transformer, and it thus can be used anywhere in the world. They don’t make them like this anymore…. Mullard caps, turret board, top notch workmanship, dual bias pots,’overrated’ transformers (meaning they have been built with higher specs than really needed) etc. Recapped (this has to be done every 20 years or so, or the amp’s sound will degrade and noise will increase). It has also been revalved and biased correctly. I will include all the original caps. This amp will do ANY STYLES superbly, from Chuck Berry to Gilmour to Hendrix to Clapton to AC/DC to EVH and beyond. If crank it up and you give it a decent boost, you will hear the most roaring metal sound to be found anywhere. None of that wasp in the jar, fizzy and thin preamp distortion….. This is how a guitar would sound during the 1970′s. Crank it up and be astonished at the wonderful harmonic crunch and notes so thick you can cut with a knife. The amp will be EXPERTLY packed. Leave it to me and don’t worry about a thing. Of course, the amp will be sent fully tracked and insured. I leave nothing to chance.

Up for sale here is this neat vintage Lafayette 417 tube amplifier. This is extremely rare–I have never seen anything like it, and I cannot find anything on the internet about it. It is in pretty good condition, with light to moderate wear overall. The power transformer has a lot of rust and paint blistering, but the rest of it looks good. This appears to have all original tubes. The tube complement is. 5Y3G rectifier (RE2 date). 2 6L6G (RE2 and X1 dates). X1 is January/February 1939, and RE2 is March/April 1940, s o this is probably from around 1940. The face and knobs look great. I brought this up on a Variac, but I was unable to get any sound out of it at all, though the pilot light and tubes do light up. However, I really have no idea how to hook it up, so I was just guessing. This has an empty socket on the right side of the back inside, which may be for a mic transformer of some sort of might be for a speaker–I’m not sure. This will probably need the usual recap/rebuild before it is ready to use. I noticed that the can capacitors inside are Western Electric, which is interesting. Please see my pictures for details. If you have any questions, please ask. I have a number of other tube items, collectibles, and vintage electronics listed–feel free to take a look!
