NOS Siemens F2a’s

Btw, the V69 was made by many German companies, not only by Telefunken. V69 just describes a red book standard for professional equipment.

Have you seen a single V69 which was not made by Telefunken ?
In the "Braunbuch-Beschreibung" for V69b I read: "Hersteller Firma AEG-Telefunken, Hannover"

 

[Kay Pirinha]

Yes, e.g. a V69 made by Klangfilm.
Best regards!

Price drop for these superb valves. £395 (UK Pounds). Price is now ‘firm’. Thanks for looking. 62.

OT:

I've wanted to build a clone of that amplifier for a couple of years already. I have seen these valves available on eBay, but boy they are just too pricey so I'm going to use a KT88 instead. So, no, I'm not going to buy these F2a's unfortunately, but I am interested to know what you liked about the amp ?

 

[Sixty2]

Ah, it’s many years ago since I owned The Shindo Cortese. I used it with a Shindo Vosne- Romanee pre. Truly liquid presentation. Ahh, wish I’d never sold this combo!!

Re the valves, they are expensive, though a great investment for anyone with a F2a amplifier. If they lasted 25000 (half expected life for these), how much does it cost per hour for all that Audio heaven? I rest my case! 62

 

[Bigun]

Yeah, I know, it's not that it's bad value per se - I just can't get past the sticker shock!

I consider you to have been lucky to own one of those amps!

 

[Sixty2]

I think under the rules that the occasional bump’ is ok?

 

[Sixty2]

Reducing to £350 including worldwide Royal Mail Special Delivery. Thanks for looking. 62.

I got a nos one on ebay for 25$ a couple of months ago an got excited about buying another one to build an amp until I saw the prices but they were still half the price of these two. They must be going up fast.

 

[Sixty2]

Going to withdraw these for the foreseeable future. Thanks for looking though!

 

[Sixty2]

Back up for sale. Thanks for looking. 62

 

[Sixty2]

62 - wow



2 years and 2 months later.


from L 495 down to L175 and still no takers.


Should have invested in a gold sovereign.


Look on the bright side:

You get and A for effort though.


If I had a use for them I might buy them.


But if you had some NOS GEC KT88s, KT77s, or KT66s
then we might do some talking.


Or a WE350b


Good Luck

Hi Sync,
Thanks for your message. These are very rare and an absolute bargain, but I guess not too many folks out there have F2a amps. Sorry, I have no other valves for sale. Good luck with your search though! 62.
