Description

This Heathkit EA-2 was tested with a MP3 player into the crystal cartridge input and it sounds great! On the video clip, it doesn't sound that bad for audio pickup using the smartphone mic with the speaker a few feet away! Of course, it sounds better in person! You'll notice when it's turned off, it kind of fades away as the capacitors discharge and the tube filaments loose power! Definitely not a CLICK...Gone! The filter caps have been changed as you can see. There are a couple mods done by the previous owner. One is the addition of an output jack for a recorder (see close up pic), the other are diodes on the 6X4(?) tube socket so the tube is not necessary. Looks like all you have to do is remove the diodes and a tube can be used again (see close up pic). Cosmetically it's very nice showing just some minor wear. Thanks to ebay/PayPal's current draconian policies regarding returns, we will no longer sell most items as working, but rather "officially" as parts, not working. Also, thanks to the same policies, we will no longer ship directly to any country other than the US. Any overseas buyers must buy thru the ebay shipping program. Everything is sold AS-IS; NO WARRANTIES offered on anything. The purchaser, upon receipt, might not agree as to our assessment of condition, but that's what it was HERE and it's being sold officially for parts or not working. It may or may not work at all when you get it! NO RETURNS or REFUNDS! If you do not agree with these terms DO NOT BUY IT!
