Rare Bell Model 3dt Stereophonic Tube Amplifier Awesome Picture(s) and Description:

THIS IS A VERY RARE BELL MODEL 3DT STEREOPHONIC AMPLIFIER. THE BELL 3D WAS THE FIRST PUBLICLY AVAILABLE STEREO AMPLIFIER EVER MADE, CIRCA 1953. THIS IS THE SECOND VERSION OF THIS AMPLIFIER, THE 3DT WHICH DEBUTED ABOUT 1955. A THIRD VERSION APPEARED A FEW YEARS LATER, THE 3DT(G).

THIS AMPLIFIER IS IN GREAT CONDITION, AND OUR TECH HAS FULLY RESTORED THE ELECTRONICS. ALL CAPACITORS WERE REPLACED IN THE POWER SUPPLY WITH UNDER CHASSIS ELECTROLYTICS. THE CAN CAPACITORS WERE LEFT IN PLACE TO MAINTAIN ORIGINAL APPEARANCE, BUT ARE NO LONGER USED. ALL SIGNAL PATH CAPACITORS WERE LEAKY! THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH NOS "JOHN E. FAST" & VITAMIN Q PAPER IN OIL CAPACITORS, WHICH ADD EXCELLENT DETAIL AND SOUND JUST WONDERFUL IN THE AMPLIFIER. ALL OUT OF SPEC RESISTORS WERE REPLACED WITH NOS CARBON COMP RESISTORS, ALL SWITCHES AND KNOBS CLEANED, ALL VOLTAGES CHECK OUT NICELY. BOTTOM COVER IS INCLUDED. THERE IS A TESTED SET OF 1950's G.E. BLACKPLATE 6V6GT's INSTALLED, A SET OF NEW JJ 12AX7's AND A PAIR OF SYLVANIA 12AY7 PHASE INVERTERS. THE RECTIFIER IS A 5U4g, THE COVER WAS RE PAINTED WITH A NEARLY EXACT MATCHING TEXTURED PAINT, WHICH HAS A SLIGHT DENT IN ONE PLACE WHICH ISN'T VERY NOTICEABLE. THE AMP MAY BE OPERATED WITH OR WITHOUT THE COVER, WHICH LIGHTS UP SPECTACULARLY. JUST LOOK AT THE BREATHTAKING APPEARANCE OF THIS AMP. THE ONLY KNOWN ISSUE IS THAT THE STEREO SELECTOR ONLY FUNCTIONS IN STEREO. IT IS NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM, AND BELIEVE ME, YOU WILL JUST LOVE THE SOUND OF THIS PIECE OF AUDIO HISTORY! JUST LOOK AT THE WORKMANSHIP UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF THIS AMPLIFIER, THE ENORMOUS SIZE OF THE IRON, ALL THE CLOTH COVERED WIRE, THE FRESHLY INSTALLED VINTAGE PAPER IN OIL CAPS, AND YOU WILL REALIZE THAT THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST VINTAGE STEREO AMPS YOU ARE EVER GOING TO SEE OR HEAR.
