Nice Vintage Heathkit A-7 Tube Amplifier with Tubes Recapped Working Sounds Great
Monday, April 1st, 2019Up for sale here is this nice vintage Heathkit A-7 mono tube amplifier. This is in really good shape, with light wear. I recapped this, taking the can cap out of the circuit and replacing it with individual electrolytic capacitors underneath the chassis, as well as replacing all the other capacitors except the ceramic disk caps, which are fine. This has some nice vintage US tubes in it, specifically: two RCA 12A6 output tubes (1942). I did not swap any of them out. There are several varieties of the Heathkit A-7. This is the one that uses 12A6 tubes. You cannot swap in 12V6 tubes without altering the circuit. Also, some of the A-7 amps have an extra tube on the right side, but this does not–there is no socket, just a hole there. The original can capacitor is out of the circuit, but has been left here for looks. Its phenolic mount is cracked underneath, but this won’t affect anything. The two knobs on the ends stick out further than the one in the middle, which is just how this is made. This is tested and plays well and sounds good. This is a neat little amp, and you can enjoy this as a mono amp, find another for a stereo pair, or rebuild this for guitar amp use. This is in good working order and needs nothing. Please be aware that this is a MONO tube amplifier. It is not a stereo amp. Please see my pictures for details. This will arrive safely. If you have any questions, please ask. I have more stereo equipment and lots of vintage parts listed–feel free to take a look!
