From my personal collection.....

Features:

Inputs/Outputs - Phono; Tuner, Auxiliary, monitor and recording facilities for two tape decks with dubbing from Tape 1 to Tape 2. Two power amplifier (Main) outputs.

Controls:

Selector, Tape 1/Tape 2, Source/Monitor, Balance, Power, Volume.

Auto-muting to suppress warm up transients.

Tube Compliment is 2x12AT7, 3x12AX7. Currently have NOS JAN's freshly installed.

GREAT preamp here, full function, warm sounding.

Cosmetically fine. No major scratches, dents or dings and everything works as it should.

I have the original manual as well.

500 shipped, lower 48.

    Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Troy has 1967 JAN NOS 12AT7 in the phono section (matched and balanced), and a triad of Ruby Tubes 12AX7-M, that I also hand selected for him.

    GREAT preamp for the $.. THINK. Tube LINE and PHONO, with the CJ name for a few Franklins? Get er' done.

    That fuse holder (back right) brings back bad memories... but it's nothing compared to Russ' fax machine.

    Yes it did the Dutoit- "Firebird" and Aimee Mann were highlights. This is the tubed pre that made me get into the tubed front end setup.
    A solid pre for the cash.

    These few weeks will go down in history as the Bull Market for fredv! Great time to 'invest' on Club Polk.

    That's sure looks purty.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
