Selling one of my WD88VA power amps due to the arrival of a WAD300B, can't keep all 3 amps due to space restrictions so this one is up for grabs.

In very good working order and in very nice clean condition, this is the single input version with the rare blank front panel, the valves are all near new and it will be sold with a complete second spare set as well. I think the pictures speak for themselves, this is a very nice amp.

KT88 power tubes are the Genelex Gold Lion version, these were purchased new in May last year so have had very little use and will be good for many hours yet.
The ECC83S is a brand new JJ valve and the 2 signal valves are nos Jan type.

All of the spare valves are in good condition with low hours.

A great sounding amp at a good price, a demo can be arranged if required, also I am prepared to deliver within a reasonable distance of Devizes for a small contribution towards the diesel, collection is the preferred option as this way the amp can be demonstrated to any potential buyer.

Only asking £650 for this excellent amp, any questions, please ask.

Thanks Grant,

I would like to keep this if I was honest, just do not have the room for 3 large power amps plus I can't use them all at the same time. I will be keeping my second WD88VA though.

Nigel, that's a lovely looking amp. Do you know if it was factory or kit built?

Hello Simon,

It was kit built as an Integrated amp, I changed it to a single input power amp by removing the relay board and volume pot etc and changed the front panel, it has been checked over on a regular basis by John Caswell from the WD forum and given a clean bill of health, it is a standard build, never felt the need to change any of the original build components.

Hi again,

I also have the face plate for the volume control only option and can supply this with the original pot and volume knob if any potential buyer would prefer that version, see pictures below:

I am also willing to offer this without the spare JJ valve set for £575

Thanks for looking.

Ace amp. Pull off the bottom cover and give the world a look at its guts, that'll get the juices flowing...

if it would have fitted in the rack id have been interested as it looks to be very good quality.
