Can some explain to me exactly what this is? Has this been modded or is this still considered a tube amp? EE You are bidding on a vintage H.H.

Gregorius Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 EE, Since no one else is replying I will try to help. This Scott looks like someone tried to repair it that didn't know what they were doing, so it may or may not even work. It also looks like someone, maybe the seller robbed the tubes to sell separately on ebay, in some of these vintage units the tubes are worth more than the amp. When I bought my Fisher 800C for $200, it had 9 Telefunken smoothplate 12ax7's in it that are worth $30-$40 each. It will probably goes pretty cheap, but be prepared to pay for repair if you you cannot do it yourself, and a complete retubing. I don't know what tubes this unit used, try contacting NOS440 (Craig), he is the resident Scott expert. Regards, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mobley Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 look what this thing ended up going for, no tubes or indication that it work if there were tubes. Yikes. junk Scott 299C Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorius Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Geez, It must have been bought by someone who is restoring one and needed some spare parts. The cosmetics look pretty good, but certainly not for a beginner to try out tubes. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
