  1. Niles SI-1230 12 Stereo Channel Whole-House Power Amplifier, for parts only. 30 watts @ 8ohms (40watts @ 4 ohms) x 12 Stereo channels, bridgeable 80 watts x 6 Stereo channels @ 8 ohms only. I tested this unit as far as I could without schematics, the power mains are good, each amplifier module has its own main power supply, there are no signs of burnt components or evidence of overheating anywhere in this unit. It is not in "protect mode" (status led is green) so it is highly likely the 12 individual stereo modules are OK. The amplifier design is such that if any one amplifier module is bad, the front panel status light will illuminate red and the rest of the amplifier modules will continue to function as normal. The pre-amp positive supply regulator is working (+28 volts) the negative regulator is at +11 volts (should be -28 volts) where the fault likely lies. As all channels are not passing the signal. This amplifier employs cascading inputs and outputs. Each channel can be driven individually, or all at once via a main bus or in any combination thereof using the dip switches and separate RCA jacks on the rear panel. Each pair of channels can be bridged up to 6 stereo channels x 80 watts (at 8 ohms only). Or 24 mono channels x 30 watts at 8 ohms, 40 watts at 4 ohms. There is some minor scratches on the case and the left front conner has a little of the paint rubbed off. The cabinet is in pretty decent over-all condition. It would be a fun and rewarding project for someone handy with a solder iron, I found Instructional videos on youtube. The operating manual is available free, on line. $50 + shipping from 03870
  2. Niles Audio SI-275 2-Channel Amplifier, 75W/Channel, tested. Typically used in whole-house and home theater applications. Employs cascading RCA inputs and outputs.

  4. Infinity Reference 1050W subwoofer, 250 Watt, 4 ohm, Cast Aluminum Frame, Shallow Profile. Rubber Surround. Tested. $50 + shipping from 03870.
  5. Vintage Racon Electric Company 32 ohm, 12", 2-way coaxial Theater Speaker, 1940's, cast aluminum frame, Anlico magnet. Hemp paper cone. This was likely made by Western Electric (Altec) in the early 40's for a movie theater application. It has a carrying handle, it weighs 26 pounds. The surround was restored professionally by New England Speaker. They don't make the exact size surround this speaker needed, so the NES staff cut down a slightly larger surround. It does not effect the sound quality. They thoroughly tested it with a 20 watt class A-B tube amp and it sounds beautiful. This is perfect for low wattage tube amps, A class "A" amplifier would be a perfect match for this driver. $150 + shipping from 03870 takes it home.

  10. I bought a pair of K-107-Ti tweeter horns from Klipsch factory thinking I might want a spare on hand for my Cornwal III's. I never needed them and have moved on to Cornwal IV's I believe I paid $78 ea + shipping, it is an open box but not used other than to test them out. I'll take half price, you pay the freight. Also bought replacement diaphragms from simply speakers for $40/ea, unopened box. I'll take $35/pair.

  13. These were purchased about five-(six? ) years ago. I use a 50 watt tube amp to drive them, so no clipping issues. They are in 9/10 condition. Slight blemish were a rubber ball removed the sheen on one cabinet about the size of a silver dollar. No discoloration of the wood, but the finish is just plan missing. You have to look at 15º angle to the sun to even see it. otherwise you wouldn't know there was an issue. I'm am looking for $2,500 obro. Original boxes and papers.b you pay shipping from either 01862. or 03870. If you live in southern New England I could meet you half way. Payment via paypal.
