Yes, its up for sale.

I am selling due to a BIG change in direction regarding the speakers, and this amp will not be suitable, it will also be going to fund the new purchase anyway.

It is a single input integrated amp with a volume knob, or a power amp. It has an output of around 15w-18w IIRC.

It will come with a pair of Svetlana 'Winged C' KT88's but will also take EL34. You can also use KT90 ~I think~ and KT120 which I used, but not a massive difference apart from generating a lot more heat.
There is also a single Harma 6922 and single Sylvania JHS 5687 included.

Its been a great amp since I have had it, and worked without fault with KT88, EL34 and KT120 valves. It did get quite warm with KT120 valves, but KT88's were fine. I think the KT120 use has not helped with the 'Bulging Capacitor' thread that I posted over on the Wam.
They are fine, but will be double checked for peace of mind by someone else before Its actually sold.

It has had some repair work done on it before with the previous owner(s) by John Caswell, the offical Audion UK repair agent due to a faulty valve or two IIRC, I can put you in touch with the previous owners (both regular posters on the Wam) for more detail of any work that was done.

It is in great condition, as you can see from the photographs, only thing is a small amount of scratches on the bottom plate, but of course this is never seen.

It comes without a box, but does have a manual.


Any questions, just ask

Looking for £450.

Collection from Faringdon, Oxon.

Can meet up in the Abingdon, Oxon area during the day, or can delivery locally.

I can drop it off in London this Saturday the 6th, Portsmouth area on the 13th/14th and Milton Keynes area on the 20th/21st (or anywhere in between) if that helps anyone.

NO POSTAGE on this amp as I do not have the original box.

Cheers, Rob
