This listing is for a Vtg PA Mixer Input Tube Pre Amp / Amplifier Altec 342B Pacific Missile Range #1
Unit came with the other Altec 342B we have that has an original US Navy Pacific Missile Range Property Tag (This one does not have a property tag, but came from the same lot.)
Previous Owner's original notes on this amplifier:
ALTEC LANSING QUAD INPUT PREAMP/AMPLIFIER RATED 35WATTS.
HOUSING VINYL DETERIORATING.
USES UNMARKED 7027A OF DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER,BUT GAINWISE MATCHED.
POWER ON AND WORKING OK, BUT ONE NEEDS NEW CAPS SOMEWHERE, BECAUSE
I CAN HEAR A HUM.
[INPUTS] HAVE RESISTIVE NETWORKS INSIDE THE CANS, THUS MUST BE ALL HIGH IMPEDANCE INPUTS.
Previously used condition with some scuffs, scratches, grime. Green covering on wood cabinet is deteriorating. Wood cabinet is rickety. Powered on - all tubes glow. Unit was tested by the previous owner who states it must need a new capacitor, because there is a hum. Power cord has old replacement plug - we recommend it be inspected and possibly replace with something more permanent. The GE 44 bulb in the power on indicator is burnt out.
