Up for auction is a vintage Calrad Stereo High Fidelity 2-Channel Dual 6BM8 Tube Amplifier, Model SA-12B. Do a little research - I've read that these make excellent stereos or guitar amps with just a few modifications! This one will need a little work to bring it back to its full potential.
None of the tubes are included, what you'll need is......
2)6BM8
1)6X4
The front panel has five knobs........Channel 1 (Tone, Bass & Treble), Channel 2 (Tone, Bass & Treble), a Selector Knob which allows you to choose Stereo (AUX. or Phono) or Mono (Phono or AUX.), Channel 1 Volume and Channel 2 Volume/On/Off.
The back panel features 2 separate (Channel 1 & 2) 4-screw terminal output strips (0,4, 8, or 16) and 6 RCA type inputs, three for Channel 1 (XTAL, CER, AUX.) and three for Channel 2 (XTAL, CER, AUX.)
We
haven't done any testing or gone over this one because there are loose wires and the two small transformers are not installed, I will be sending them along with the amp). What you see is
what you get, for parts or restoration! Please see all the pictures as they are part of the description too. These older vintage amplifiers
make great DIY projects for restoration to a really nice guitar amp or to add to your collection!
Cosmetically, the chassis, face plate and cage are all in great shape with only slight age-related wear. There's a
bottom cover is present. The amp still has it's original 2-prong
power cord which should be changed to a grounded cord for safety
reasons. This amp measures approximately 11 1/8" x 6 1/2" x 4 5/8" and weighs about 15 lbs. unpacked.
