Vintage 1950s Supro 1644E "Student" Amplifier Head, for Repair or Modification

Phoenix, Arizona, 850**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$50

For repair or modification. No speaker, no cabinet. The fuse container threads are dinged up and won't take the nuts so I put a grommet on the inside and an O ring on the outside. Two wires are disconnected but the green / white wire has insulation on the Mallory cap post so that one is no problem. The Sangamo .02-400 cap wire goes to the fuse, I think. I did not power the unit up. The 6SJ7 tube passed emissions only. It was not tested for quality. The 5Y3-GT and the 6V6-GT tube are missing.... more
