Madman1 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Factory wired and super clean, tech said it needs to be recapped etc, needs 1- 7591 replaced and both 7247/12wd7 replaced. All other tubes look original and test good. Unit is all original and unmodded. Excellent condition except for one broken knob which I have and could possibly be repaired. Prefer not to ship at this point and can meet someone within 50 miles of Chattanooga. $375 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 That’s is a clean amp. Is it really 70 watts ? That’s a lot of tube powerGlwsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmjungbluth Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 These are very powerful amps. I have one that has been re-capped and with tubes replaced. It sounds very similar to my Fisher 500C, but with a little more oomph. The transformers on this model are legendary for quality and heft - there are simple modifications to this amplifier that dramatically lower the noise floor of the preamp and can safely increase power to almost double the original wattage. For someone with the right skills this is a great platform to build a truly excellent tube amplifier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman1 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Yes, it’s 35 watts a channel, but there are definitely mods like gmjungbluth referred to that can get these pumping out more power with lower distortion, then there even more radical mods which is called “hot rod” that puts out crazy power. I really hate to sell this but I’ve got a pair of mono blocks that need restoring and they are costing me a small fortune. 4 hours ago, carlthess40 said: That’s is a clean amp.

carlthess40 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I’ll be driving though Tennessee late next week. I just don’t think I could swing that much cash as I’m moving my mother from Mn to East Tennessee Great deal for someoneSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 On my trip to Mn I will be passing through your location. Not to sure about the time, it may be in the middle of the night. Lol Maybe we could make out some type of deal on your amp Send me a message so we can chat about it Would you be open to any kind of trades for other audio gear ? Here’s a photo of the map and the roads I’ll be driving If the time is anywhere close, it would be sometime around 11am or give or take a hour I’ll be leaving on the 17th and be going though Tennessee on the 18th Thanks Carl.

Marvel Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Wish I had the cash for this, too. I could probably be at your door in 30 minutes, as I work in Chattanooga. Just have too many projects in the pipeline already. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
