This is a very rare Bell stereo amplifier in a very rare condition with original manual (and schematic) and original cage. It produced the best sound of all my 6V6/6AQ5/6005 or any vintage variety. The price is quoted for the original 6V6 grey glass RCA tubes which come with it, but I used adapted 6005 (the rugged mil spec of 6AQ5) as shown in some of the pictures. This five-to-seven-dollar tube which is elecronically identical to 6V6 but housed in a seven-pin base and looks like a pipsqueak of a tube is indeed superior to 6V6 (probably any megabuck 6V6 but I've no way of comparing) - tighter and cleaner at any range (as reported by Joe Rosen - check the archives).
My adapted 6005's could be yours (all four tubes and adapters) for extra $100 - highly recommended. The other tube compliment - a 5U4G rectifier and 6 X 12AX7. I've also put new 12AX7's (the original good batch of Shiguang) which sounded better than anything I had or came with the amp.
I did not get around to recapping it, but the next owner can take it to another level.
