For Sale 12AU7 Tube preamp - Bottlehead Foreplay circuit with NOS RCA 12AU7 tube pair

[Algar_emi]

FS: 12AU7 Tube preamp - Bottlehead Foreplay circuit, complete and functional, uP controlled (Basic Stamp). One of my first tube preamp, made with love and care, all point-to-point with quality parts, ground bus, and a nice part of NOS RCA 12AU7 tubes. Just the tubes still sell for about 100$... Chassis is made of oak. stained red, solid steel top and bottom plate. Weight 18Lbs! so shipping of a large box, well packed will probably be around 50$...

You won't find a nicer little tube preamp, well made with quality parts, at a better price...

You'll get all the documentation, schematics, and the Basic Stamp controller code. You can modify it as you wish. Processor programming accessible from the DB9 on the back. Remote control code is included, as well as the motorized ALPS volume pot. I never completed the IR receiver and decoding code, there is still a few bugs. The rest of the code is working fine if you don't try the remote...

Front buttons: Power-On/Standby, Mute and source selection. Four inputs, one output, one Tape output (parallel to the selected input).

Asking 250U$ o.b.o + shipping + Paypal fee.

For Canadian the preamp is also listed on CanuckAudioMart 350$CAN + shipping, local pickup is welcome, as well as EMT direct bank transfer, or cash in person

Let me know
Thanks
