Unique and rare Yamaha RA-50 from the 1970's. If you've been looking for one here's your chance to get a good one.
I'm sure if you are looking at this you know what it is. Rotating leslie-style speaker, with a separate stationary vinyl cone speaker. Pink Floyd, etc, etc,
I feel pretty certain that nothing like this will ever be manufactured again. It's so complex with so many unique parts.
This amp was extremely well built, and has just been fully and extensively serviced to go another few decades. You won't see another one in this good of shape electronically and mechanically.
There is no stand, and a foot switch is included, but it is not the original foot switch.
The video included in this listing is of this exact amp and the features of this amp are demonstrated in the order: (1) Stationary vinyl cone speaker (2) Rotating speaker slowest speed (3) Rotating speaker fastest speed.
Service included:
- All electrolytic capacitors replaced
- AC motor for rotating speaker disassembled, cleaned, and re-lubricated,
- New differential pair matched transistors in power amp (known issue with these amps)
- All pots, switches, jacks thoroughly cleaned
- Amp fully checked and tested
