Description
This is a Carlsbro Mk 1 Valve CS 40 - 60 PA amplifier and matching speakers dating from 1966 judging by the speaker codes and the mustard cap codes.
Valve compliment is 2 EL 34 s, 3 Ecc83 s and a GZ34 rectifier. Serial Number 356. The system has been recently overhauled by Stoneham Amps and received new valves and a clean bill of health. It outputs about 50 watts of lovely valve power into 8ohms and as its an early model has a valve recitifier and an echo loop out for a reverb unit. The speakers are loaded with the original and beautiful pre Rola Celestion 15 inch speakers and twin horns via a passive crossover. Overall condition is good with no big tears in the Rolex and the cabinet cloth intact on both enclosures. I ve been playing my turntable through it at home and mono vinyl has never sounded better. I ve used it once or twice with an electro acoustic and sm58 mic with an impedance adapter. I ll include the adapter in the sale. It sounds as warm and wonderful as it looks. It is insanely heavy, nearly 100kg in total so shipping is going to be difficult,( but not impossible ) and expensive. . If the buy it now price is met I ll deliver within 300 ish
miles of Newcastle upon Tyne. If it's an offer we can negotiate something . Collection is welcome. Do email any questions.
