Interested parties who are interested in this offer know which Holy Grail from 1952 by Sid Smith is involved here. The KT-66 triode class A circuit with powerful output transformers a la Western Electrics ignite a colorful three-dimensional sound with an addictive factor in your listening room that is second to none!

The Radio Craftsmen C 500 triode tube mono power amplifiers deliver an impulsive 10W and sound sensational, especially with high-quality full range drivers and horn systems.

Optically as well as technically in top condition! ( 70 years )

European version with 220V.

Absolute rarity.

This is (one of) the best sounding vintage tube amps ever. Designed in 1952 by Sid Smith ( later Marantz chief designer of Model 7, 8, 9). The 1953 500a model is the updated -by Mr.Smith as well- model with a different power transformer (stronger), slightly higher voltage and a different and more stable rectifier tube 5UAG instead of 5V4G. Otherwise both amps are similar. This is the best Radio Craftsmen ever! The 8 or 16Ohm Output transformers ( licensed and made by Western Electric ) are similar on either 500 and 500A RC-parts #19S014.

''The Radio Craftsmen C500/500A Williamson Triode is a subtly refined Williamson triode amplifier. Using a pair of Mullard KT66 output tubes, 15 watts are available with an ultra-wideband response of +/- 1dB from 10Hz to 50kHz. Tube rectification, octal-based 6SN7 tubes for front end/driver, and high quality transformers are utilized in this classic implementation of the Williamson amplifier circuit.

Radio Craftsmen was founded in Chicago in 1947, around the same time as McIntosh, Fisher, Scott, and Harman Kardon. The C500A was designed in 1953 by Sid Smith, the same Sid Smith that went to work for Marantz in 1954 to design their famous tube amps, preamps, tuners, and crossovers. Even by today's standards, the C500 is clear and sweet with superb musical performance. And the description of its performance in the original brochure reads like something you would find for a modern amplifier.''

Optik ve teknik olarak en iyi durumda! (70 yıl)

220V ile Avrupa versiyonu.

Mutlak nadirlik.

Bu, şimdiye kadarki en iyi ses veren vintage lambalı amfilerden biridir. 1952'de Sid Smith (daha sonra Model 7, 8, 9'un Marantz baş tasarımcısı) tarafından tasarlandı. 1953 500a modeli, 5V4G yerine farklı bir güç trafosu (daha güçlü), biraz daha yüksek voltaj ve daha farklı ve daha kararlı bir doğrultucu tüp 5UAG ile -Mr.Smith tarafından da- güncellenmiş bir modeldir. Aksi takdirde her iki amfi benzerdir. Bu şimdiye kadarki en iyi Radyo Ustası! 8 veya 16Ohm Çıkış transformatörleri (lisanslı ve Western Electric tarafından yapılmıştır) 500 ve 500A RC parçaları #19S014'te benzerdir.

'' Radio Craftsmen C500/500A Williamson Triode, incelikle rafine edilmiş bir Williamson triyot amplifikatörüdür. Bir çift Mullard KT66 çıkış tüpü kullanarak, 10Hz'den 50kHz'e kadar +/- 1dB ultra geniş bant yanıtıyla 15 watt mevcuttur. Williamson amplifikatör devresinin bu klasik uygulamasında tüp düzeltme, ön uç/sürücü için sekizli tabanlı 6SN7 tüpler ve yüksek kaliteli transformatörler kullanılır.

Radio Craftsmen, 1947'de Chicago'da McIntosh, Fisher, Scott ve Harman Kardon ile aynı zamanlarda kuruldu. C500A 1953'te Sid Smith tarafından tasarlandı, 1954'te Marantz için ünlü lambalı amfilerini, preamp'larını, tunerlerini ve geçitlerini tasarlamak için çalışmaya başlayan Sid Smith. Günümüz standartlarına göre bile C500, mükemmel müzik performansıyla net ve tatlıdır. Ve orijinal broşürdeki performansının açıklaması, modern bir amplifikatör için bulacağınız bir şeye benziyor.''
