cool old art deco amp

Register to hide this ad
I was tempted to bid on it since the price is low but I have too many other projects.
Haven't seen that style of screw plugs before. And i actually hadn't heard of Thoradson before. Decent brand?

Somebody should get this just for the coolness factor! :)
 
It is bloody gorgeous. Mercury vapour rectifier( the 83 ), and transformer drive tot he PPP 6L6 finals. Non trivial stuff there...:)
cheers,
Douglas
 
The input connections and controls say PA. Those round threaded input connectors are common for older microphones.
 
Nobody bid on it, that's why it's gone. Local pickup only really hurts the chances of a sale. Of course if it's in your backyard than it plays in your favor.
Certainly a cool looking amp though.

Thordarson is most known for transformers. But they apparently made amplifiers according to a search of the Internet.

For instance:

Looks nice. But local pickup in Washington state.

Pre-WW2 they made many amps as well as SW gear. The best used their Tru-Fidelity iron. The rest are PA audio grade or lesser and AFAIK did not resume after WW2 -
