2x Heathkit AA-161 Integrated Mono Amplifiers 6BQ5/EL84 Tubes

Description: *Shipping to mainland USA only* -------------------------------------- ITEM DESCRIPTION: For sale is two Heathkit AA-161 mono integrated tube amplifiers. Each channel includes two 6BQ5, two 6AN8, two 6AU6, two 6EU7 tubes. All transformer winding continuities are checked okay with an ohmmeter. These are special because the power and output transformers of both channels are matched with same codes. Check pictures. Old amps should have filter caps replaced or reformed and old coupling caps should definitely be replaced to avoid red plating the power tubes. Highly recommend purchasing by a DIYer with technical skill or having a technician to work on them. Schematic is available online. And there are vendors selling modification kits with needed parts. They were purchased as a restoration project for stereo use and have never been used nor tested. No time nor resource to embark on it. My loss is your gain! All the parts are there for a full restoration or modification project as most 6BQ5 amps are sweet sounding. Don't miss out!! Also worth mentioning is that this model uses identical output transformers and similar circuits as in other Heathkit models such as UA-2, AA-13, AA-151, EA-2, etc.... Advantage over the pure power amp like UA-2 is that there's more real estate to work on and allows more tube sockets to try out different circuits. Have fun and experiment! Selling AS-IS. What you see is what you will get. You will be getting TWO amplifiers.
