Going back to ModWright

Recommended Posts

I have an excellent condition ModWright SWL 9.0 Linestage Pre-amps with the upgraded tube power supply. It works flawlessly and sounds great. It comes with the original box and packing, remote control, quality power cord and spare vintage input tubes. The power supply tube is a modern Genelex Gold Lion GZ34. Lots of positive reviews on line for this pre-amp. I am only selling it to simplify my system. I’m asking $1300 which will included shipping to the lower 48. I prefer PayPal Friends & Family or please include the fee. Thank you!

It’s the standard version but was sent to ModWright to have the tube power supply upgrade. Don’t know if they did the cap upgrade? I will try to post a picture of the inside. Oh, I will toss in a strong testing Matsushita 5AR4.

I’m going to send this to ModWright for a check up. I haven’t used it in awhile until this morning. I found two of the switches pop the speakers and the volume pot is noisy. I’m also concerned about the choke/transformer that appears to have some pitting. There are a couple of other annoying things as well. I may end up keeping it depending on what needs to be done and what its going to cost me.

A little De-Oxit will take care of the volume pot - it is just from lack of use. That may even be the case for the switches too. I would try that first . In fact, De-Oxit all the connections too. If that doesn't work for the switches then check/replace the tubes. There really isn't much that can go wrong other than the tubes.  If that doesn't work, then send it to Dan.
