Hi everyone,
 I have quite a few original Jolida "A" series chassis here that are cosmetically challenged. What I usually do with these is offer them at a discounted price with some custom upgrades.

 I just finished one with the following upgrades/changes:

 Coupling capacitors - Illusion Paper-in-Oil
 Carbon Comp grid stop resistors
 PS filter caps - upgraded in value to 310uF total w/ bypass
 Bias resistors - Dale/Vishay 3 watt allowing for both EL34 & 6550/KT88 tubes to be installed.
 Tubes - Svetlana EL34 tubes installed

 The idea behind this one was for a smooth nostalgic presentation using the PIO capacitors. I figured I would keep it simple to allow someone looking to get into the world of tubes a chance to do so for a reasonable investment. Keep inmind, I do start out with a brand new amp, just not cosmetically perfect.

 Asking $775 ---- Tell a friend.

By the way, I can provide pictures via email until I upload them to my site.

Hi folks, here is a picture and some information as posted on my website.

Custom Jolida 3250

This unit utilizes some simple upgrades to provide a seductive, warm EL34 presentation (6550/KT88 tubes can also be used).
Starting with a brand new Jolida "A" Series amplifier, the coupling caps have been changed to Illision PIO (paper in oil) capacitors, grid stop resistors changed to carbon comp pieces and bias stage resistors upgraded to Dale/Vishay 3 watt non-magnetic pieces that also allow for the use of EL34, 6550 or KT88 output tubes. Power supply filter capacitors have been increased in value almost 35% for more dynamic control.

Very smooth, seductive presentation while maintain excellent inner detail, transparency and resolution.. With the power supply capacitors upgraded in value almost 35%, the dynamic control of this amplifier is quite impressive.

 Priced at only $775 and supplied with a quad of Svetlana EL34 tubes, this Custom 3205 is sure to please.
50 wpc with EL34
60 wpc with 6550/KT88
