This amplifier is in fair cosmetic condition, but certainly not perfect. The cabinets paint looks original, but has quite a few scuffs on it. The lid is slightly bent inwards, but can probably be straightened back into shape. All controls turn smoothly. Overall, the amp is fairly dirty but should clean up reasonably well with some time and effort. The amp includes two Cetron 811A tubes and two Electronic Enterprise 811A tubes, all of which appear to be in good shape without a “bulls-eye” on the plates, but they are still untested with no guarantees. 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.

So Collins made some of the best sounding tube equipment from the late 1940s through the early 60s and this Collins 12Z is evidence of that. The build quality of this surpasses most other American makers of the time and rivals the German equipment made by Telefunken, EAB, and others of the same period. The 12Z is so overbuilt right down to the machined aluminum knobs. It is packed with transformers made by Thordarson, and attenuators by Daven. It is four inputs with a single output and will run on AC or batteries. All the transformers are. Good, it should be looked over by a tech to make sure all the caps are 100% before being used. Comes with orig power cord (not shown). The item “Vintage Collins Radio 12Z-2 Portable Tube Input Microphone Mic Mixer Preamp Amp” is in sale since Thursday, October 22, 2020.

We have no idea when this radio was last used. It was found in storage and is dirty and dusty, as you can hopefully see in the photos. I’m certainly not a Collins guru, but it does appear to be electronically correct and modified (please correct me if I’m wrong). You may not be able to see in the photos, but all standard crystals under the chassis are present. The cabinet, while very straight and free of dents, does appear to have been repainted at some point. All in all, this looks like a great piece for restoration. Also, the serial number tag has fallen off. We hope it finds it way to a good home that’ll give it whatever attention it may need! This unit is believed to have not been used in many years, likely decades, and with this in mind we have made no attempt to power-on this unit or test in any way. 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.

This is a nice Collins amplifier. It was acquired from a ham who is in the process of downsizing his massive collection. We’ve been playing with for about an hour now and have been pleased with it’s performance. It’s in good cosmetic condition with minimal wear; the faceplate looks very good. It has four new-production 811 tubes installed Chinese? , and keyed-down on 40 meters with 50 watts of drive we’re getting about 500 watts out. The amp is currently wired for 120VAC, and the power supply appears to be all original. A reproduction manual is included. However, there isn’t much room to work with on these 30L-1 amplifiers, and I simply cannot get the bottom tubes out. I apologize for this. I’ve placed layers of thin foam around all the tubes, so they should be OK. Just be sure to remove the foam and ensure all tubes are properly seated in their sockets before using the amplifier.

This is a very early 75S-1, serial number 178. Aside from the serial number, you can also tell this is an early unit by the “ribbed” design of the meter’s bezel. The faceplate looks good and appears to be all original, however the cabinet has been repainted (somewhat crudely). The power cord has been replaced and fixed in place, although we’re not sure how as we haven’t removed the receiver from the cabinet. The bad news is that the receiver has problems. It receives no signal whatsoever, even from the crystal calibrator. On top of that, whenever you tap the cabinet or chassis, you get a ringing tone. The sound is similar to what you’d hear from a microphonic tube. However, we don’t think a tube is causing the problem.
