Vintage Tube Amp

I did not plug it in, because I don’t have the proper way to use this. So I will not plug it in and turn it on.

Vintage pair of Sony audio equipment. Sony SRA-3 tube preamplifier. Powers up, one pilot light out. Sony 263-D reel to reel tape recorder. Powers up and motor operates forward and reverse. For parts or restoration.

This amp has had all the capacitors replaced but the guy that tried to fix it couldn’t fully finish the restoration and get it running. Would be a good project for someone with good background in vintage tube amps. We can’t go any smaller in packaging, otherwise it would compromise the safety of the product. However, if you do find a cheaper price, we can prorate the cost.

This is a very early golden age RCA Monitor amp from the famed Sun Records 76 Console. This monitor amp is also PERFECT for the audio lovers out there who use RCA turntables and wanna listen to music on this incredible amplifier! Has huge UTC input and output transformers. The transformers all test perfectly. The input transformer reads 5k on the ohm meter which is actually 50k ohms the normal mic/line ohms for the secondary of the input transformer. Also reads perfect for the 150 ohm and 300 ohm inputs on the primary. The output transformer reads perfect too as shown. The amp has not been tested further or turned on. It needs FULL restoration before it is turned on. What you see is what you get. It has wear and tear throughout but should restore easily with a tech. This is the holy grail for audio listeners or recording folks. This monitor amp can also be used as a mic preamp or line amp. (4) 6j7′s and a pair of 1621 power tubes which are 6v6/6L6. If you have an offer send it.

IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION.

Estate find, very old. I have not attempted to plug in and power on. Not sure exactly what it is. The only branding I see is on the volume indicator.

We love putting cool stuff in the hands of people who will love it, and keeping history out of the landfill.
