You are bidding on an (RCA) Victor type 245 tube amplifier. This is the power amp used on several RCA Victor radio models, some with a phonograph. They use two type 245 amplifier tubes driven by a 226 with a type 280 rectifier tube. The amps are popular among audiophiles with the dual 45 outputs and easily obtained circuit diagram to convert for more convenient input. This example is offered for parts or repair, as the power transformer has been replaced, and is untested. The tubes included are for display, and the UX 280 is weak and both globe shaped 245s are gassy. The replacement power transformer is marked 9P6, so it appears to be from a Majestic Model 90 series radio which uses a similar tube line-up. It is quite a bit larger than the original. The good news is that the other transformers in the amp all show good continuity, so appear to be good. The amp has two controls, one for tone and the other for hum adjustment. It measures roughly 13.5 by 9.5 inches at the base, and 8.25 inches tall. The Nipper logo is on the top of each original can. Shipping weight is 42 pounds, but I could remove the extra heavy transformer and save a lot on the shipping cost, if desired. No shipping to China. Please see my other auctions for more early radio, phonograph, and audio items plus tubes.

This is untested
