These tubes were removed from a Heathkit amplifier we parted out some time ago, and we’re just now getting around to listing the tubes. Both tubes have identical date codes of 7016, which I assume indicates production during the 16th week of 1970. They’ve been tested on out TV-7 using the settings for an 811 tube. The minimum for an 811 is listed as 36. These tested at61 and 51, with plate current measurements at 6.7 and 5.6mA. Yes, I realize that the “best” way to test tubes is in an amplifier. However, at the time of listing, we don’t have a working amp that uses 572B tubes. TESTING: The tube(s) in this sale have been tested on a vintage TV-7/D tube tester, which has been overhauled and calibrated by Dan Nelson. Dan Nelson is the guru of TV-7 testers, so you can rest assured that you’re getting dependable test results. Please note that no tube testers are identical and my test results will likely differ slightly from yours. I will not declare a lower value for any reason. (12AX7, 12AY7, 6SN7, 6DJ8, etc).

This is a very nice amplifier! The cabinet shows a little wear, but overall it looks great and the faceplate is just as nice. The amp also includes a pair of Cetron 572B tubes, and from what we can tell there have been no modifications done. Also included in the sale is the original user manual. With 75 watts input on 40 meters, we’re getting 600 watts out. Please realize that this is a vintage piece of equipment, and unless specifically noted above, it has not been fully restored with new components. It will inevitably need maintenance, however it’s impossible to know whether that will be next week or a few years down the road. Unless you are capable of doing this work yourself (or have access to someone who can), 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.

The amp is in fair cosmetic condition. While there is no odor, it appears to have belonged to a smoker at one point many years ago. The knobs show yellowing. The cabinet itself is dirty and has scuffs. However, while this may not be the prettiest amp out there, it runs well! Keyed down on 40 meters with about 75 watts input, we got about 500 watts out. Keep in mind that the amp is wired for 120VAC, but we would recommend rewiring it for 220VAC. All in all, this is a great amp that would make for a great cosmetic restoration project.
