  • Quad of Beckman Holland 7062 Tubes – Amplitrex Tested – See Pics for Test Scores

    Quad of Beckman Holland 7062 Tubes – Amplitrex Tested See Pictures for Test Scores For best results – before you install your tubes be sure that your power is off, that the tube sockets are tight and cleaned periodically with a product like Detoxit 100%. All tubes are tested and or matched on the Amplitrex AT1000 digital tester, in Fixed Bias mode. Buy with confidence – I accept 30 Day returns and provide tracking numbers on everything sold and shipped. NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – eBay needs to do a better job of explaining to buyers about international shipping. When I get the order, I ship to the USA shipping agent, the agent then ships the package to the international buyer. Usually this takes about 3 weeks to complete. Fortunately they haven’t lost any packages yet. Hang in there it will show up. – Jim

  • 2 New 6800 uf 100v Kemet Main Filter Capacitors Marantz Model 14 15 16 16B 30 32

    Up for sale here is this set of 2 brand new Chemi-Con 6800 uf 100v capacitors. These will work great in the Marantz Model 14, 15, 16, 16B, 30, and 32. They fit the old clamps perfectly! Some of those amps used 5000 uf or 5450 uf caps, but Marantz recommended upgrading to 6800 or 6900 uf caps, so these are great replacements. The Marantz 15 uses four of these, so just set the quantity to 2 if you want 4 caps. The body of each capacitor measures 36mm in diameter and 82mm tall. These are 85°C 11000 hour capacitors, which means they can handle up to 85°C, or 185° Fahrenheit, and they will last at that temperature for at least 11000 hours. These will obviously never see that much heat, so they will be good for the next 40-50 years at least. These use screw terminals, and the screws are included. These are authentic Kemet capacitors, manufactured in early 2024. A note about installation: Main filter capacitors are usually used to provide the positive and negative rails to the amplifier section, so one of them will appear to be wired backwards (with positive to chassis ground). This is normal. Before you replace your capacitors, take some clear pictures of the wiring so you will know how to connect the new ones. If your equipment starts blowing fuses after replacing the main filter capacitors, you probably wired one backwards. US shipping and handling is $6, and international is $28. If you have any questions, please ask. Looking for more parts? I have power switches, feet, pushbuttons, top case screws, bottom screws, faceplate screws, white LED fuse lamps, blue LED fuse lamps, 6.3v bi-pin bulbs, 8v bi-pin bulbs, 12v bi-pin bulbs, wired 8v 60ma bulbs, new power cords, new main capacitors for the Marantz 1060/2230, wired Pioneer speaker plug replacements, new 630v yellow film capacitors at 30 different values, a large variety of transistors for vintage stereo repair, new Wima film capacitors for stereo repair, new 250v yellow film crossover capacitors, and more. Just use “add to cart” on everything you want and then check out for combined shipping.

  • WESTERN ELECTRIC 317 LOGO DECAL 1911-1915

    The item for sale is a reproduction of the logo decal found on many Western Electric (WE) 317 Plain Front (PF) magneto wall phones produced from 1911 thru 1915.

Color and dimensions (2-1/4″x5/8″) are also consistent with the original. This item offers an acceptable replacement for a missing or deteriorated decal in the restoration of WE PFs, manufactured after 1911, and having the long transmitter arm thru 1915. The decals are printed on WHITE backed waterslide decal paper, and must be submerged in hot (not boiling) water for a minute depending on water temp. The original mounting location on the PF models was centered 11/16″ below the lower edge of the ringer gongs.
