70s Refurbished Bass Amp Head USA

Univox Unicord model: 252 - 70s Bass Amp Head - Fully Refurbished

This Vintage USA made Transistor Bass Amp Head is from the 1970s - Provides about 25 Watts - Fully refurbished: repaired and re-capped, so is expected to perform at it’s very best for decades to come - sounds GREAT!!! Only 6 Transistors in your signal path: Pure Sound! - that’s how they made things back then - a novelty item - perfect for a low power approach to music, versus KiloWatts of Overkill that blasts off your ears - Kind of a novelty amp, that also would make a great little practice amp head.

Features: 2 Inputs, Volume, Bass and Treble controls, 1/4” Speaker output (custom modified) - about 25 Watt output

Lot: Unicord 252 Bass Amp Head

Work Performed: Repaired, Re-Caped: replaced 13 capacitors and one transistor (see photo, which shows original parts removed - photos show PC board with it's current parts), upgraded speaker output connection to standard 1/4", re-soldered aged solder points, treated controls and switches with contact cleaner, re-routed ground connection, added missing hardware (feet, screws) and knobs, Physical cleaning and detail work, full functional test - Good: about a $325 job - with the purchase of this amp you get this amp for free and only pay partially for the work that went into it - I love vintage gear like this and wanted to res-urect it, to give it a new life.

Condition: Great Physical Condition, Sounds great, found to work reliably, but there is one shortcoming: the volume control pot may crackle slightly at very low volume (higher setting fine) and the 2 other pots may slightly crackle - could not remedy with contact cleaner, so new pots would be needed for perfection - hard to find as larger than today's parts, but at additional cost I will bring this to perfection

Also Possible: Add a line level output for an additional $55
