Vintage Tube Amp

Vintage 1962 HH Scott Stereomaster 222C Tube Amplifier – SHOWN WORKING READ. They will be pulled using gloves, and will be labeled as to exactly where they were pulled from so they can be placed back in their original locations. About this unit: When the unit first made it into my hands it was missing all knobs and I was unable to get the unit to power on (which turned out to be just because I didn’t know how). I sent the unit off to my technician a retired E. E and had him give the unit a once over. While he was able to get the unit to power on he wasn’t able to get sound out of it. So he ran some tests and got the unit up and running again (his full notes can be read at the bottom of the listing), in total he. Cleaned the selector switch’s using deoxit, allowing the unit to properly play sound again. Tested all electrolytic capacitors with an ESR meter and found that they were all in good working condition. Tested and confirmed all tubes in the unit were working as intended. Ran the unit under a dummy load at 20WPC for 2 hours to ensure the unit wouldn’t blow itself up. In his testing he found signs the unit had previously been worked on, finding many (but not all) of the ceramic tube capacitors had been replaced with “Orange Drop” caps (see final photo of the unit on the listing). The note from my technician, and a printed copy of the owners manual will be provided with the unit. NO original packaging, manuals, or other accessories included. Feel free to message with any questions related to this listing. DM us for more information. Scott model 222C Stereo Laboratory Amplifier s/n 151945 component date codes 1962. All of the knobs are missing. Complaint was that it would not power up at all. I found that the tubes did light up, but that indeed, there was no sound. By trying all of the controls, I found that the tape monitor slide switch was intermittent. Treating that switch with DeOxit fixed it. Other tests and observations: I also applied DeOxit to the selector switches. No treatment of any of the pots, which were quiet and felt smooth. Testing the electrolytic capacitors with an ESR meter found that they are all okay, with ESR numbers far lower than the series resistors. Tested the tubes, which were all okay. The 7178 output tubes have no brand visible, but all 4 appear the same. Three of the 12AX7 input tubes are Telefunken, but the fourth is Sylvania. Removed dust with compressed air and mild cleaning of the chassis with a damp cloth. The amplifier was tested powering speakers and a dummy load at up to 20 W/channel, and about 5W/channel for 2 hours. As received, this amplifier was missing all of its knobs. They were replaced with new black bakelite knobs (Davies Molding p/n 1104). The new knobs do not match the originals, but they are clean and functional. They are easily changed if original style ones can be found. Note that there are some signs that this unit has been worked on before, mainly that most, but not all, of the white ceramic tube capacitors have been replaced with Sprague “Orange Drop” caps. Also the bottom cover is fastened by just 4 screws, 5 others are missing.

This is a very old amp.. Can see in the pics the tubes glowing.. Not sure what its for.. Weights about 22 pounds.. Measures 17 inches long.. Cord has been added on to (pics)..

This was a state sale find from woodside California and was plugged in every thing worked. Now no power at all. Was upgraded to new cabinet 18.5 by 18.5 by 19. By a professional radio shop for the ladies husband in the 80s it looks beautiful. Just don’t enough knowledge to figure out why not powering up. When it was working prior. Has every thing in the one cabinet the tube amp and tuner all wired and mounted solid. Or can meet within 60 miles for a better price. Only to lower 48 states only.

Only one channel works as it should. The other one squeaks and feeds back at low volume. Not sure what is wrong with it but could be an easy fix for someone who knows how to fix mesas. Way over my pay grade though. The channel that works properly works great is very loud and clear ans speaker sounds amazing. Wish I knew how to fix myself but cant afford to take it to repair shop at the moment so my loss is your gain. Below is manufacturers stock description of the amplifier.

Perfect for musicians looking for a classic sound with modern performance capabilities, the Mesa Boogie DC-5 is a reliable and sought-after choice.

Please take the time to read about this guitar amplifier and message me with any further questions: this is old and showing signs of cosmetic wear, commensurate with age. The cabinet has a few cracks seen (though it remains in one piece), and the green pearlized wrap has chipped in some places. The power cord is solid, but the sheathing on the braided wires leading to/closest to the speaker have become frail over the years and are now wrapped in electrical tape. One of the dial knobs are missing, but knob turns as it should. The unit powers on and tubes light up, however, I’m not getting any sound from the speaker, but I do hear static. May be something super simple like a grounding issue, in which case, my loss is your gain. If no takers, I’ll be taking the amp to a tech for a refresh and relist once working fully. This unit does come with the back cover plate, a lot of times when these show up on the market the back cover is missing, likely in part due to them not staying on very well, which this one doesn’t, but it is included!

Crate Palomino V32 Vintage-Style Guitar Tube Combo Amplifier Amp Beige w/ Foot Switch – AS-IS READ. Tested and Confirmed Functional. Internal speaker outputs loud and clear audio. Line input is functional. All amplifier effects and controls operate as expected (spring reverb, clean/overdrive, tone controls). Footswitch controls respond correctly. Unit powers on and functions during basic testing. Intermittent static/crackling present from internal speaker when idle (no input signal). Line output signal tested weak; signal is extremely faint when connected to a mixer or external effects pedal. To hear the line out, both the instrument’s output gain and the V32′s volume must be raised well above typical levels. Internal speaker was disconnected during testing to prevent excess volume from routing simultaneously. Amplifier housing and control knobs become noticeably warm during use; heat was also observed through top ventilation. Proper operating temperature is unknown. No further troubleshooting, diagnostics, or repairs have been performed. There is no guarantee of functionality beyond what is described here. Standard signs of use. May have cosmetic wear and/or scuffs. Some stains and small tears on cabinet. See photos for more detail. Includes only what is pictured. Does not include any additional components. R2v3 CATEGORY C4/F3 NON-DATA.

The unit was not fully tested, so I’m offering it as-is for parts / repair only for a final sale. Does not come with any tubes. Condition notes; pretty nice overall cosmetic condition for its age. The item does have a cigarette smell odor. Estate find, I don’t know much about this item so I can only comment on what I tested. The unit powers on. The front knobs all appear to be functioning. Item was tested with 4ohm speakers on the 4 ohm settings and the sound works. Please see video above in my listing, that is the extent of the testing that was done. Only very basic minimal testing was done as shown in the video. Does not come with the tubes that are in the video. The vast majority of the outputs/inputs on the back of the unit and speaker screws on the back were not tested. Missing a few screws on the bottom of the case. Due to its age, it’ll probably need some going over / looking over, new capacitors, and possible repairs, etc. Some wires are a little dirty and dusty. Rare Vintage Bell Carillon Model 6060 Tube Amplifier. Does not come with a tuner, or tubes or any other accessories. Comes as shown in photos.

Please send me a message after purchasing that you have read the full description and read that the item does have a cigarette smell odor.

Ok one of the original knobs is missing the one to the far right, I replaced it with a different knob, I do not play guitar but I’m good with electronics, all functions appear to be working tubes light up unit plays with a guitar plugged in but like I said I do not play so I can not speak on to how it sounds vs another amp. I used deoxit on all the pots. I did nothing else to the unit. The face plate could probably be cleaned to perfection if desired, cabinet is in good shape for its age. I’m sure that the whole setup could use some sort of maintenance but it all looks to be working from what I could tell.
