Never give-up on vintage hi-fi guys! I am hauling in a few PU/bed loads of vintage tube type gear that has been stored for several yrs in a leaky-roof storage shed , "leftovers" from a closed down local Radio shop that operated from the mid 1930s- mid 70s. This old inventory is mostly old theatre-amps, vintage hi-fi,broadcast gear,etc. So far, I havent found any really "high-end" gear except for a few pcs of vintage Mc Intosh C-8 units, & vintage Altec rackmount tube type amps & amp/comp/limiters used yrs ago in theatres. I also have some vintage Gates broadcast equip as well as Western-Electric, Webster Elec, Rauland,RCA,Seeburg, Hammond,& some etc orig type vintage 2A3 type gear. Most of the vintage Pwr Trans, chokes, etc I have tested are still good so far. Several pcs of vintage brand type tube "kit" Heaths, & Knight small mono-block amps/preamps, 1 pc Leak preamp,& other vintage test equip in the mix also. Found a early 30s era small Philco sig-tracer also. Most all this inventory looks horrible, due to age & damp storage conditions all those yrs past. Unfortunately, no chrome-chassis Mc Intosh vintage gear found yet! Im still going thru the shed before the "yellowjackets" move back in after winter. This equip was given to me for haul-off and to find a new welcome home. I havent removed the larger heavy-steel cased rack-chassis type items yet. This inventory was stored previously by a older tube-tech that worked at the Radio repair shop many yrs ago. Never give up, sometimes vintage inventory finds you locally thru word of mouth! Most old tube-service techs are glad to know that someone will take all these items, and appreciate them.Yield, if nothing else, still good orig Peerless type trans, vintage AC trans, tube sockets, etc!
