One of these old skool amps may be available to me soon.. anyone know anything about it? I have read somewhere it it's actually a PA amp from like the late 50's or very early 60's.

THe seller is asking $50 for it. i can prob get it down a bit.

i'm really looking for any info on this amp and if it's worth anything or even to try and use it.

    Bogen made a lot of PA amps, and home amps also. Actually, there was a lot of grey area between the two, not so defined as it is now. I think I had a 212 a while back - good sounding amps.

    Tube integrated for $50? Why not.

    Cheers,

    Sorry for bumping such an old amp. There is one of these Bogen for sale local to me, and I was curious if anyone else had thoughts? Any idea of the specs on these? The tubes it includes are: 4 x 6V6(Bogen by GE)

    1 x EZ81(Telefunken)

    2 x 7199(Bogen by RCA)

    2 x 12AX7(one is Bogen by Mullard & the other is Unknown)

    Anyone know the specs? I'm finding it hard to find info on this. Thanks!

    How much? I'd pick it up if it was a good price. There are some decent tubes there even if the amp isn't great, or maybe a great DIY platform.

    The beginning price is 150. Not sure if that's over priced.
