As a collector & restorer every so often a lil gem comes along that possess enough magic to impress the pants off me, this is one of them.

 

The 60s Philips AG-9016 is Single ended 2W + 2w valve amplifier. 2x Philips ecc83, 2x Philips EL95. The EL95s test better than new the ecc83s next best thing to new and all well matched -these might be the original valves I suspect.

I replaced rectifier, added rf snub caps, power electrolytics, cathode bypass caps, signal earth returns improved, bias and plate current checked, pots and valve sockets cleaned/lubricated. Fitted quality gold speaker terminals and RCA inputs plus a nice blue led. Has the desirable & durable mullard/philips mustard caps and quality Lemco silver micas in tone and feedback ccts.

 

No crackles or hum. In short a quiet, capable, and sonically impressive sounding amp for those higher sensitivity speakers. Condition is very presentable with just minor paint loss & blemishes on top cover. Being a low heat producer is a good candidate for a nice nz native wood box.

 

Find out what the fuss is about flea powered SE amps. (remember 2W is half the volume of 20W)
