상품 설명
First, some nostalgia... This amazing LK-72 vacuum tube amplifier was built in 1961 from an H.H. Scott kit by my father -- an extreme audiophile -- and served as the centerpiece of our family's amazing stereo system I grew up with in the 1960s and 1970s. For fans of historic and vintage audio equipment, this amp drove a pair of legendary Acoustic Research AR-3 speakers. As difficult as it is to sell this, we're hoping it will find a good home in the hands of someone who will fully appreciate its history, sound, and performance.
The amplifier was professionally cleaned and tested in May 2026 by my son (so he's a 3rd generation audiophile!) who is the manager of a Guitar Center store that was the #1 seller of vintage music and audio equipment last year out of over 300 stores nationally.
Power output is 40 watts per channel and this unit produces the incredibly rich and powerful sound that is so unique to vacuum tube amplifiers.
In the interest of being completely up front, there are 2 items to note that you should be aware of...
(1) In the cleaning and testing process, we discovered that the phono inputs are noisy. All other inputs (tuner, "Extra," and the tape monitor) work very well. To get around the phono input issue, we used an external phono pre-amp that is typically necessary with today's modern amps between the turntable and use of the "Extra" input -- with that approach, vinyl records sound AMAZING (check out the demo video provided in this listing). Digital music sources including iPhones with outputs through cables with RCA plugs also sound fantastic.
(2) While the unit is very clean and cosmetically in great shape, the brown finish around the volume/loudness knob is worn to reveal the base bronze color of the front panel. This is shown in the detailed photos. You may notice the wear is around positions 6 though 10 of the volume control. I like to think this was due to our loving to crank up the system when my mom was out of the house, my dad with classical and jazz music and me with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, and Steely Dan!
A copy of the H.H. Scott LK-72 instructions manual will also be provided with the unit. Unfortunately we do not have the original manual, but you will find this document which was downloaded from the internet to be very interesting -- especially the build instructions for the kit!
Free FedEx Ground Economy shipping to the lower 48 states is included.
As already mentioned, I have included a demonstration video in this listing showing the amplifier in real live action playing some classic rock music on vinyl! Note the extremely smooth operation of all controls -- particularly with the absence of noise in any with potentiometers (volume, balance, bass, treble). Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for viewing our listing!
