Shipping is a large over estimate. I will refund the difference of the actual shipping fee.


Fresh recap just happened in May 2024. All Vintage original tubes tested good.

Department of commerce Maxson CA-1589

Tube Limiter Compressor.

Vintage audio limiter compressor tube, made for the Department of Commerce Civil Aeronautic administration in the 50's.

Vintage and clean limiter unit, almost new.

Built by Maxson Instruments of Long Island, NY and it is model CA-1589.

The CA-1589 was used to limit the audio level going into radio transmitters.

Now a days used for grungy compressed bass, as parallel compressor for guitars, drums and vocals.

Open to all offers. Any questions DM me. This item is in excellent shape And has a ton of mojo. I’m super slimming down my outboard gear right now.

If you decide to return any item I will charge a 60% restocking fee for my time. Shop policy is no returns on vintage gear.
