I'd also consider a partial trade for a good MM or MC cartridge with plenty of life left.

I went there as well ... still go up a couple times a year to help out at my fraternity house.

Bump with updated price ...

Just curious if you are sold on the 45 tube why the sale? Are you going to another 45 amp, if so which one?
I picked up the Welborne Star Chiefs that were for sale here, purely based on the reviews I read about them. They're in my system now, and have a very similar sound to the Eaton amps. I'm a habitual system tweaker, so it's not unusual for me to make changes on a whim!

Really nice pair of 45 monoblocks built by Alan Eaton. Good review on his stereo version here: http://glowinthedarkaudio.com/alan-eaton-se45.html. Sound excellent on my 97dB folded open baffle speakers. These were my first exposure to the 45 tube, and I'm sold. Point to point wiring, copper ground buss, Tamura OPTs ... a virtually identical pair recently sold on the auction site by the builder for $1400. See his description here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Single-ended-vintage-45-mono-block-tube-amplifiers-Tamura-output-transformers/184522957962?hash=item2af66ce48a:g:j6QAAOSwk4JfpInk.
I am including a pair of National Union 45 tubes, 2 pairs of 6SN7 tubes and a pair of 6AX5GT tubes. I'm also including red and blue lamps (came with red, and I bought blue to match the rest of my system) and a brand new pair of Cardas CCBP-S brass speaker terminals (that cost me $80) that I was going to swap out for the stock terminals but never found the time to do. No power cords included.
I will pick up UPS shipping costs to the CONUS. Amps will ship in two boxes. I am around until the 22nd, after that I won't be able to ship until the 28th or so. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll answer them to the best of my ability. I have a bunch of photos that I am happy to email to you ... just send me a PM with your email address.
Amps (and me) are located in SE WI (Lake Geneva). Buyer is welcome to pick them up locally.
Buyer to cover PP fees (3%).

PM coming with some questions

This was listed and then taken down a couple months back ... it's back on the market due to another amp purchase recently. Too many amps!
Amp and power supply built by Wauwatosa Tube Factory in the Milwaukee area. This design utilizes an overbuilt power supply in a separate chassis, and can accept 6L6GC/6V6/KT88 output tubes. The amp has a toggle to switch between headphone and speaker mode, as well as an ultralinear/triode mode toggle. I have primarily used the amp for powering my 99dB efficient folded OBs, with great success. I have also run 6L6GC and KT88 tubes, and both are included in the sale price. I am completely happy with this amp, but have moved to 45 monoblocks and don't have the need to keep both. The links below give a thorough explanation of the design and build, along with pictures. If you have more specific questions I can go to the builder for more clarification, as i keep in regular contact with him. Both the amp and power supply look great and function perfectly. I'm not 100% sure of the output, but I believe it's 5-7 watts, depending on which mode you are in. By the way, the amp is very quiet, even on my sensitive speakers. No noise issues here at all. Also, I have more pics if you need them, just ask and I'll email them to you.

$1000 + actual shipping in the CONUS. I will likely pack them in separate boxes and then place them into one main box for shipping. Overall weight for the amp and power supply is ~30#. I expect shipping will probably cost $50 or so, if I had to guess, but will confirm prior to payment and shipment.

Curios if the 3.5% volume displacement was based off the total cubic volume of an empty cab or with the volume of the installed drivers factored in?
This goes back a ways, but I believe it was based off the internal volume of the empty cabinet, sans drivers.

I modded a pair of Forte IIs a while ago ... great project, and the speakers sounded really good. Link here ... might give you some ideas.

I purchased this phono preamp from the original owner in March 2019. It is approximately 2 years old. Original listing here: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649505525-rogue-audio-triton-phono/.
Although I've tested it with a MM cartridge (Shure M97Xe), I have primarily used in with a MC cartridge, and with and without a SUT. I have used it with an AT33PTG/II, Zu Denon DL-103, and Denon DL-301 MK2, all with great success. The preamp is dead quiet on my 101dB sensitivity speakers. There are zero issues with it, functionally or cosmetically. I looked it over carefully and do not see any marks on it. It was used in a dedicated listening room, free from smoke, kids and pets.
It will ship in the original packaging, which is definitely overkill! Paypal users add 3% to cover fees, please. Shipping will be charged at the actual rate, and the unit it packed up and ready to go. I will ship it the same or next day after receiving payment. Package size is 22" x 17" x 12" and it weighs ~20#. Will ship from 53147 on buyer's dime. I have a bunch of photos I can email to you, please ask.
Let me know if you have any questions at all. The reason for sale is that I just built Roy Mottram's PH16 phono preamp, as I wanted to try an all-tube preamp (and needed a project).Includes: Original packaging, power cord and paperwork

https://wtfamps.com/la-luciernaga-part-2-the-ampNo longer for sale. I will likely pack them in separate boxes and then place them into one main box for shipping. Overall weight for the amp and power supply is ~30#. I expect shipping will probably cost $100 or so, if I had to guess. Amp is located in SE WI and available for audition/pick-up as well. Lots of pics, including of the build, in the links above. I have more pics that were recently taken, but they are apparently too big to post here, so let me know if you want me to email them to you.

Would also consider a trade for a similarly valued gently used cartridge. Prefer MC, but could be interested in the “right” MM.

The P75 is pretty legendary as being one of the best sounding “budget” phono preamps on the market. I used it in the MC phono enhancement mode with my AT33PTG/II cartridge as well as in the MM mode with my Bob’s Devices SUT, and it was excellent in both cases. It works perfectly, looks great and comes with the power supply, all jumpers, instructions and the original packaging.
This is the original version, which from some threads I've read online, is supposedly superior to the v2 model, especially when used in PE mode. I can confirm that it has sounded great in my system, and with multiple cartridges.
Free shipping in the CONUS. Price is firm ... you won’t find a better MM/MC pre for this kind of money.

You may still get a chance
Honestly, what’s holding me back is the speaker terminals and having the power cord and inputs/speaker terminals on opposite ends. Just not sure how I’d situate these in my rack. From all I’ve read, they sound terrific!
