This is a Magnavox 6V6 tube amplifier I rescued from a 1962 vintage Magnavox console. Tube compliment is 2 Sylvania 6V6, 2 GE 6V6, 2 Magnavox branded 6EU7 for drivers, and 1 Magnavox 6CA4 rectifier tube. Coupling caps changed to orange drops, input and output jacks added to rear panel, fuse holder and power switch added as well. Puts out around 15wpc. I'd like to add it sounds phenominal. No hum, and has great bass and treble extension. It is more clear and dynamic than my McIntosh MC2100! Bass is not boomy like most tube amps but quick tight and only there when needed. I'd like to get $150 for this one. The pecan base is unstained so you can finish it, or I can stain seal it to your specs. The reason I'm selling this one is I have no high efficiency speakers. If no one here is interested, I will put it on that auction site. Thanks for looking!
