This SBE amp is in great cosmetic condition. It’s been stored in an indoor and climate controlled environment, not a dirty shed in the backyard. It appears to be all original with no modifications, although I didn’t inspect the underside of the chassis (aside from what was visible through the cooling vent). The tubes are untested but look good with solid getter flashings and solid printing/branding. This one will make an ideal restoration candidate! After nearly eight years in business, we’ve made the decision to no longer test vintage equipment that’s been sitting idle for long periods of time. I apologize for this, but we’ve simply encountered too many problems. But that doesn’t necessarily mean this is a junker!

This amp looks to be in very good cosmetic condition. The cabinet and faceplate has a few scuffs and scratches on them and could use a detailed cleaning to get some of the dust out, but overall it looks good. Inside, it appears to be all original and unmodified, making it an ideal candidate for electrical restoration! This equipment came from the estate of a serious ham operator and audiophile, and has been tucked away in a storage unit for approximately 15 years. We’ve made the decision to sell this older equipment 100% as-is and untested. There are a few reasons for this, but it essentially comes down to the fact that they almost always need some level of service and it’s simply not cost effective to pay our technician to spend time going through them. It may or may not need components replaced (caps, resistors, tubes, etc), controls cleaned/lubricated, alignment, and so on. Unless you are qualified and capable of working on this unit yourself, or are willing to pay a qualified individual to do the work for you, we suggest you revisit the idea of whether this is the right equipment for you. This item will be packaged using our InstaPak foam-in-bag system, ensuring the utmost protection! Bags filled with a chemical mixture expand around your item and harden to form a protective, yet forgiving, foam barrier. IMPORTANT : You will only receive what is photographed. If it is not shown in the photos, it is not included in the sale. This includes items such as original packaging, accessories, manuals, and so on. Speaking of manuals, it is strongly recommended that you thoroughly read it before attempting to operate the equipment. If a manual is not included in this sale, you should download one. We’re here to help! We will not declare a lower value on the item’s documentation.
