Here’s a very early Carvin tube amplifier from around 1950. It appears to be a Model 205, but I cannot be certain. The tubes are two 12J5, two 6V6GT, and a 6X5. It has a 12 inch permanent magnet speaker. Probably manufactured by Magna/Magnatone in California. The speaker code is 371041 (41st week of 1950). One pot is readable with a code of 304048 (48th week of 1950). The amp has an updated 3 prong grounded power cord. The two 12J5 tubes are “new old stock” and the other tubes test good. The amp has a loud hum when you turn it on, so it likely needs filter caps. If you are into early Carvin stuff, or early vintage tube amps in general, this is a great find. Priced to sell quickly, so no offers please. Contact me beforehand to work out any other arrangements. No checks of any kind.

For sale is a McIntosh MC275 power amplifier that uses 6550, 12AU7, 12AX7, 12AZ7, and 12BH7A tubes. Only essential parts were changed to make sure the amplifier is working as it should. Aside from that, to my knowledge, it has many original capacitors and parts.
