As for price (forgot to address that in my last post), I really have no idea what would be fair. I've tried googling for some information, and have come up empty-handed. I don't have access to any pricebooks for guidance.

I _do_ want to sell this amp, as someone else could put it to better use than I have been able to over the years.

Ah, that's a pity, I needed a pair. So, now that I'm a disinterested party, I'll tell you that I paid $100 for a pair of these perhaps 20 years ago. If you had a pair, you could probably get $300-400 these days from the right collector. A single unit may prove to be difficult to sell.

If anyone needs a mono amp for, say, center channel, this one is a peach. AB2, 50 watts, cathode followers with a transformer load driving the outputs. The best versions used EL37 output tubes.

Sorry about the delay in getting the photos uploaded. Been pre-occupied with the giant snow storm we got here in Cincinnati. Not fun.

Here's a shot of the front:

I can send larger pictures to anybody that would like them, these two shots are not the best, but give an a rough idea of what I have.

In the interest of full disclosure, one of the 5AW4 tubes (front left) broke at the base when I was dusting this unit - so I haven't been able to test the unit. I plan on getting a pair of new 5AW4 tubes for this unit, they don't seem to be too expensive. Not sure if there is a more suitable "audiophile" replacement for these tubes. I believe the 1614s are original as are the 6CL6s.
I am pretty sure the 3 12AU7s are not original, as I vaguely recall swapping in some newer RCAs that I had about 10 years ago.

Thanks for your interest,

Chris
