NOS Citation 12 Amplifier Kit SOLD
« on: 9 Aug 2014, 09:04 pm »
I have an unusual item.  It is a NOS amplifier kit from 1970.  Rated at 60WPC the Citation 12 was one of the few early transistor amps to get good reviews for its sound quality. 

This kit is missing the actual assembly instructions.  I  have done some searching on the Internet but have not found them.  As a consequence, I cannot say absolutely that all the parts are present.  I think they are.  I know the major parts are all here--the chassis, heatsinks, transformers, binding posts, filter caps, and pc board.  The only packet that has been opened has small resistors and capacitors.  If anything is missing, it should be easy to find.  A builder might want to consider ugrading some of these parts when assembling this amp, anyway. 

Contact me by phone with any questions or offers.  I am open to possible trades.

I am asking $375 plus $40 shipping for the contiguous USA.  It will be double boxed.

Thanks for checking out my ad.  Kent Johnson 636-399-8053

Wow. A real find for the vintage buff.

I found this article by Nelson Pass, which is about a modification to the amp but also seems to include the original schematic: http://www.firstwatt.com/pdf/art_mos_citation.pdf

As I recall Jim McShane, the tube vender on Audio Aslyum (as well as the college professor "Mikey" that frequently post there) have tons of experience with the Citation amps--probably great resources for schematics, advice, opinions, etc.
