FS: Electrocompaniet Amp & Preamp

SOLD

$150 - for both pieces; local pickup in Michigan preferred as they are heavy and would be expensive to ship.

This a preamp and amp combo from Electrocompaniet model Ampliwire IIa. First off - these will need some work and the amplifier is in non working condition and emits a loud buzz when the signal is applied. Visual inspection does not show anything burned out on the boards but trouble shooting and bringing this unit is far beyond my skills. These are fairly rare units and I think would be worth the effort to get them back to spec for the right person.

The preamp has a phono stage built in and the amp is 50 watts per channel with the first 5 watts being class A from what I could find online.

If money is of any importance, sell the preamp separately on ebay for maybe $500 at least.

Then try selling the amp as-is. It may sell easily to someone who works on these for resale for big money.
There may not be all that much wrong with it.
 
Yes, it it a real deal. 😵 If for some reason, your buyer do not complete the transaction, I will take them. 😊
Spartafan, I have a question for you. Inside the amplifier, on your pictures there is two transistors placed back to back with a piece of steel between them,
is it possible for you to tell me what are the models for those transistors. They are supposed to be two differents value.
It will greatly help me to repair mine.
Thanks
