Vintage Tube Amp

Vintage Pioneer SX-800 Tube Stereo Receiver Amplifier 1965 Recapped 12ax7 7189a. Here is a 60s Pioneer SX-800 tube receiver. This was rebuilt in 2017. Every Suzuki capacitor and many resistors changed out. Good stuff was used!! I believe the rectifier changed to the newer style too. See pics for the work. It was our go to winter stereo, then got sidelined. It ran for hundreds of hours in the cool garage no problem. Almost always had the top off this thing it gets warm. I added tall rubber feet to let the air in. I started tube rolling, as the 12ax7 tone tubes change the sound a ton. They are now Electro Harmonix, a budget but great sounding tube. I like the sovtek lps too. There are tons out there.. Id search for new/nos 7189as. There are 2 GE and 2 with no markings. They sound great its just not a matched set. Remember these are not the 300V 7189, el84 or 6bq5s. These are the hotter 400 volt series. Music sounds crystal clear, sharp treble and good bass, but there is a tube rustle kinda sound that clears as it warms up. Not a hum just an underlying background ghost noise. When it warms up it is goes away. The first couple minutes I usually just keep the volume low and then start crankin! This is 25wpc but with good horn speakers it sounds punchy for sure, even pushing 15 altec 421s with the loudness switch on! Please inspect pics you can see the new caps and resistors top and bottom. There are newer style speaker connectors, and a new 2amp fuse holder. The pots work and arent scratchy. FM radio is sharp. This is old, and tube gear is finicky for sure, however this has been on for hours sounding great! This sounds crisp and clear, it is awesome, and the background noise is dead quiet. It is just a neat sounding unit. Writing this I dont even want to sell it, I just have a lot of stuff not being used and we have other projects to finish.. This will be boxed properly.

Vintage 1965 Harmony H303B “Widowmaker” amp in good working condition. Amp has been fully serviced with Nichicon capacitors, 3 prong power cable wired in correct polarity no shocks! , and a replacement Jensen speaker from 1999. Still has a full compliment of vintage tubes. This amp still has the original grill cloth and rear back panel and is in good shape. Shows some typical wear including snags and discoloration in the grill cloth, wear to the original tolex, and wear to the original leather handle, but overall well taken care of. Was used with a vintage Aloha pedal steel and wasn’t beat on or abused. No smoke or pet odors. Shows normal signs of use and wear for an amp of its age, but overall a really cool little amplifier that works great and has had the right work done to it to keep it running for the next few decades and to prevent any nasty shocks that earned it the Widowmaker namesake. Note: this is a vintage item. I can’t describe every single little nick and scratch, so please be realistic about what you’re purchasing, study the photos and description, and of course feel free to reach out.

I have completely gone through the amp and recapped the entire power supply and replaced all the tubes with new or NOS parts. It originally had the old school screw on mic connectors but I have replaced them with locking neutrik parts for 1/4 input. This is about a 30 watt amp using two 6L6 tubes. I built a cabinet for it out of two old 15 Baldwin organ speakers and it gets plenty loud. Anything over about 2/3 volume starts to get muddy. It has a single knob for the tone control. Speaker impedance is changed with the terminals on the back. I did not modify the circuit from stock, I just replaced anything that had failed or was close to failing and changed the input jacks. If you have any questions, just ask! May try to post a video of it somehow.

Up 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!

For sale is an extremely rare RCA MI-9377-A that has been recapped. Tubes are very old and the bases are loose. I’ll include them but expect that you’ll need to replace them. Unit does have some scrapes and nicks, but is in remarkable shape for its age. As you can see from the photos, the chassis is very clean. Please review the photos carefully. I make no guarantees about performance. I sell mostly vintage electronics. As such, these items are old and typically out of spec from when they were new. I do my best to test these items and make sure they work before theyre sent out, but I do not guarantee or represent that they will meet the original specifications. I may not even be able to test them, in which case assume that they dont work and possibly be surprised when they do. However, there are times where I may miss something. If that happens, I hope that you would agree that the most efficient way to take care of an issue is if you simply message me before opening a case or doing anything else. This isnt a job and Im not a flipper. I pack items correctly. I know what it takes to get an item to you safely. You will NOT have to ask for it. I will do my best to get items out within a few days, however there are instances where that is not possible. The policies here are difficult in this regard because these vintage items in particular need to be moved and packed carefully. I do not want to damage anything by rushing. With this all being said, if there is any reason that you dont feel that you can leave FIVE stars in every category, please reach out to me before leaving any feedback other than positive with all five stars in every category.

Up for sale here is this vintage Stromberg-Carlson AU34 tube amplifier. This is an interesting one. It was recapped/rebuilt by a previous owner, so it has some new caps and new power resistors, and some nice Sprague Black Beauty caps. I brought it up on a Variac and it does play well and sounds fairly good. The rebuild work is fairly good but this does have holes in the top of the chassis–I think there are supposed to be metal covers over these, but I’m not sure. Physical condition is fairly good but this does have a moderate amount of wear and rust overall, and is missing the feet, handle, screws for the cage, and one bottom screw. On the plus side, this has the schematic on the underside of the bottom panel, and both the cage and bottom are included. This has the original knobs as well, which could use a good cleaning. This includes all the tubes–1 6N7, 1 6SF5, 1 6SJ7, 1 5U4GB, and 2 6L6GC (GE). I tested the 6L6GC tubes, and one tested at 93 and the other test at 100 but tested positive for shorts and grid emissions. This is on my B&K 747B, on a scale of 0-120 where 65 is minimum good. These still work right now but you may want to replace them. I didn’t test any of the other tubes. This has 3 separate inputs on the side–an RCA jack, a screw-on microphone jack, and 2 screw terminals. All inputs seem to work fine. This has a bunch of output options on the back, and has a 1/4 jack hanging out of the back as well. I tested this using that jack and it does play and work fine. You might want to clean up the work on this, and just clean it up in general. These are supposed to make good guitar amps, and this would make an awesome “rat rod” amp. It’s been sitting on a shelf for a while, and deserves some love. 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!
