Asking $800, would consider trades. This DIY kit build was a ton of work. I can get into specifics if asked. In short, the power amplifier is set up for 6LR8s running in triode mode. Output impedance is 4 Ohms. Power output is 15 watts. Gain is 11dB, so it would be ideal to pair with an active preamp which has gain.
Included tubes... (3) Westinghouse tubes in used condition, (2) NOS GE, (2) NOS RCA, and (2) NOS Sylvania. I pretty much bought up the market for NOS 6LR8s.
There’s a couple tiny cosmetic issues that occurred during assembly. The amp is gorgeous and functions perfectly.
This thing weighs 40 pounds, I would guess. Local pickup is ideal and I would drive some ways to deliver/meet. All parts only have a few hours of testing on them, except for the board which is Tom Christiansen’s original build, like the one in his product photos, which has unknown hours on it.

Here are photos of the issues mentioned. It was difficult to photograph, as you can barely see most of this in the correct light at the perfect angle.

What kind of power would a pair of 6LR8's have in this configuration? My speakers are 16 ohms (Zu Soul Supremes) does the OPT have a different tap than the 4 ohm?
The output transformers are rated at 15watts. As mentioned previously, their impedance is 4 Ohms. These do not have a multiple tap option. So I think the only way to change this amplifier's impedance is to change the OTs, hopefully somebody can correct me if that is wrong.
