FS: WE91 Angela Instruments 300B monoblocks.

Whitese · « **on:** 5 May 2009, 12:33 pm »

I simply love these amps, but in July I am moving to NJ, so I dont know how much room will I have for these.

One of them had some top plate damage (bending) due to shipping, but its just cosmetic.

This is the blurb from the seller/guy I traded with.

I had been reading an article in the first issue of “Sound Practices” about the famous Western Electric 91A single ended 300B tube amplifier written by Joe Roberts ie “the Joe List”.

While looking at the Angela Instruments website angeladotcom I noticed that Steve offered a schematic and parts to build a version of this amplifier.

I built these two mono block amps using mostly components from Angela Instruments including:
Oil/Polyprop 15uF, 30uF and 50uF capacitors, (Large oil filled cans on top of chassis)

Angela/Jensen/Audio Note .22/630V Paper in Oil Copper Foil Coupling capacitors

Angela/SCR Solen Fast Cap Metallized Polypropylene capacitors,

Angela Universal Power Transformer wired for 120V and Sophia Electric 300B Output Transformers designed for their mesh plate tubes with 4 and 8 ohm secondary.

The tube lineup is: Full Music (Sophia Electric) Mesh Plate 300B
Mullard GZ37 Rectifier
Sylvania 6SJ7

I will include a second NOS pair of Sylvania 6SJ7 and Mullard GZ37

The amplifiers have Sophia Electric Mesh Plate 300B tubes and matching Sophia Electric single ended output transformers. These transformers weigh about 13 lbs each.

Price: 750.00 dollars. Plus shipping

Nice amps! Let us know when you get here to NJ, we'll have to have you come to the raves. NNJ or Central or southern?

West NY area right across Manhattan, unless we work there but live "out there west"...I really rather not sell anything, but maybe consolidation is best..

Ah, then we'll be practically neighbors! (Jersey City, about 1-2 miles south).

hey, nice looking amps. seems the deck shoulda been a bit heavier gauge, then it wouldn't have bent - big transformers can do that! aa

Oh yea, the guy skimped on that top plate...I am working on finding replacement and someone to remount everything if I dont sell quickly.

The Pilot is a Fm770 i think....no extra gear no matter how cheap..

When you get to NJ, I can help you make new topplates as I have a drill press. We can use your existing topplate to mark up a newer one and then drill it out. Rebuilding the amp onto the new topplate is a bigger project though.

Sure, would be glad to help. I want to hear your speakers too if you still have them (TD15M + 18 Sound).

Whitese · « **Reply #17 on:** 27 May 2009, 02:50 am »

Those are gone...the 18sounds and Lambda...traded for a Technics RS-1506 R2R...

Looking forward to you meeting you when you get here in NJ(what town?)
Lots of people to meet, lots of systems to hear
