ECL-86 and Type 280 Rectifier amp for sale

Listing a beatiful sounding ECL-86 / 6GW8 amplifier. The ECL-86 is an amazing dissimilar driver / pentonde in one envelope and in this circuit (my own design) is phenomal and generates about 3 watts. The other key to this amps sound is the Type 80 / 280 rectifier. If you've never heard this type rectifer you are in for a real treat.

The entire signal chain from within the amp begins with the rectifier and if you don't believe me just swap in different types in this amp: coke bottle vs globe and hear the difference. Why? it's because the B+ will change due to the efficiency of the rectifier type.

I build these amps from scratch and you can find my ad US Audio Mart for my service and as you can see there's no rats nest inside of this amplifier and the amp is dead quiet (no easy feat with this tube type).


You will get:

1. One (1) Amplifer
2. A Matched set of ECL-86s (Amperex, tested strong)
3. Philco Type 280 Globe (tested strong)

$475 plus shipping (I can ship worldwide: I have shipped all over the world, send me your zip / postal code and I will get you a quote)

No power cord.

Cheers,

Greg
