Fully Refurbished Tube Hi-Fi Amplifier with Magnetic Phono Cartridge Input

Listening to Tube is a completely different experience. Sound on this amp appears as: present (right in front of you), naturalness, brilliance, amazing detail, warmth, airyness. Only "fully refurbished" brings out these qualities, as aged parts take them away. This amp has magnetic phone cartridge input which means: can be used with any modern turntable - tube vinyl listening that really amazes! - This amplifier way overemphasizes the highs if trebble control is all the way turned up, so actually creates "coloring" of sound (completely unique in this amp - Bass is really warm - I have never any other amp doing this) in this regard, but that can be taken out completely by turning the treble control near the minimum. Vacuum Tubes are more sensitive than other circuitry, so there is more detail in the audio.

Features: 3 line level inputs: AUX, TAPE, TUNER, Magnetic PHONO Input (for Vinyl - compatible with modern phono cartridges) - Recording output (high impedance only) - Headphone Jack (rare!) with speaker mute switch - Loudness, Balance, Trebble, Bass controls - speaker impedance selector tabs - speaker outputs - Power: I measured 2 x 10W RMS (max out without distortion) which translates to about 2 x 17W peak (absolute max) - 10 Tubes: 4x 12AX7, 1 x 12AU7, 4 x 7408 (6L6), 1 x 5AR4

Work Performed to present this unit as fully refurbished: Replaced/Upgraded capacitors, Re-wired 2 tube sockets so that off the shelf tubes can be used instead of having to find rare obsolete tubes, Treated all controls, tube sockets and switches with contact cleaner Once amplifier working: Honed in on details tests to replace parts to bring chanel performance closer to each other. Full functional and duration test. Physical cleaning and detail work.

Physical Condtion: Typical for age sings of aging and use, overall good. Stereo/Mono switch: the handle is broken of but it still can be operated by inserting an object - rarely needed is currently set to "stereo"

Lot: Bogen AP35 Amplifier fully tubed, chassis only no casing

Price: $1150

Purchase Agreement - All Sales are: "AS-IS”, FINAL - and: not returnable: LET’s do all that is needed to make sure to get you exactly what you need - BEFORE your purchase (Not returnable)! PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS - I am here to assist. All items are used and VINTAGE - sold "AS-IS" (-> vintage = often 50 years old!!!) and even with the best of refurb / repair work STILL CAN FAIL) and thus is sold without warranty or guarantees of any kind (AS-IS). I aim to perform all work that I foresee necessary, to provide equipment in well and reliably working condition - refurbish in as much detail as possible - and test thoroughly, to gain confidence through testing, to predict that it will last, but once work complete, it is still possible that something can go or be wrong with it (vintage) - Prices of items offered here reflect the work that went into a given piece of gear until it is listed, but cannot cover what a given piece may need in the future - that would be at your risk and expense - If there are defects, problems or shortcomings: likely I can repair, but it will be at additional cost - I do service what I sell at my regular shop rate. Any shipping costs responsibility of the buyer.
