Here's a nice plug-&-play Harman Kardon Citation II amplifier with full rebuild. All original chassis paint and gold silkscreen lettering intact. Some paint missing from the transformers. Light scuffing on the faceplate. Visually a very presentable and clean amp.
Wired as-original in Ultralinear mode for full power.
Known history: I received this as part of a trade, non-functional. Only ~80% of the rebuild was complete at the time. I ordered a few parts from Jim McShane and finished the work needed, with some long-distance help from Chris Rice. Voltages were verified and then music tested in main system for a week.
*Rebuild includes:
Other details:
(1) Gold Lion KT-88
- extra tubes included;
(1) GE JAN-12BY7A
(1) GE 12BY7A
SOLD! $2400 shipped CONUS, fully insured, all fees included
(discount for local pick-up in 89147)

Hey there! Your amp features one of my stainless steel replica bottom/face plates. I had manufactured and sold about 100 of them over the course of two years.
So there's another upgrade to your amp!
Is that mark an abrasion, or some sort of something stuck/rubbed into the plate? It almost looks like a rubber skid mark in the photos.
If it's not an abrasion, it can likely be cleaned off. The plate is 304 stainless steel, so it will be hard to damage with solvents. Just be sure to use something soft (microfiber) and go with the grain of the metal. But be careful of the lettering!
