RCA 9289 tube amplifiers


The RCA 9289D was the final version of this great 200W amplifier.  It features four 6550 in the output stage and an interesting power supply with OD3 regulators.  My father designed the final version of this amp for RCA and we have several available.  I'm testing the water to see if there's still a market for this excellent amp before I start recapping them, or whether folks would prefer them bone stock.

Without a doubt check them, replace needed 'out of spec' resistors, caps, ...

I would NOT go for 'upgraded, tighter, better' resistors, caps, just stay within original performasnce specs as shown of the OEM parts list.

A particular owner could chose to 'upgrade' for themselves, but you don't want to change the magic sound the original 'in-spec' parts provided.
