Unassembled & unopened Cit I and Cit II kits!

[kansei]

Are you the seller (and I don't mean that in a bad way at all, if you are good luck) but I simply didn't think you can tell how many watchers there are unless you are the seller. Am I wrong or missing something here?

I'm not the seller. However, if you go to http://www.watcheditem.com , you can look up items and it tells you how many watchers there are. I found the site the other day and checked it against the watchers on the auctions I'm running, it looks genuine.

I did not mean to start anything here....

Well I've been a seller on ebay since ebay pretty much began (god has it really been 13 years lol?). Anyhow, I had no idea about the above link. I wonder if it's accurate?

Sorry for the OT post. :bash:

What a cool site! I love it. Duly bookmarked.
I was just wondering the other day if there was some type of software that would do this.

Thanks for the link. :thmbsp:

I thought ebay was older than that. Circa 1994/95?

I was doing a random search the other day and the site popped up. It looked like a lame aggregate site at first but then I noticed the little extra...

Ive seen that before.
Its good from a bidders standpoint to know how much interest there is in an item you are looking at.
A hicup in the ebay watch count is that it only counts the people that use the ebay watch system. Cant see pages added to favorites in your browser.

I sell many things on ebay with a last second snipe hit with out having any watchers displayed.

Same way Im gonna win that Cit 1. :yes::yes:

There are all of those bidding services and programs out there. I'm sure some of them let you keep a watch list in an easier fashion than the auction site.

The most I ever spent on a single auction was $350. The most I ever spent outside of an auction on tube gear was $600, although that was for 2 Dynaco amps, a preamp and a tuner. These two items are way out of range for me.

I think ebay started near the end off 1995. I've been a member for 13 years. So I may have joined after it was up for a year? Either way, it's been a long time lol.

These kits always bring megabucks, but aren't the 40-50 year old caps garbage by now???

Sure. They should all be replaced before its assembled. (He says with a lump in his throught whilst wringing his hands)

You get to read my mind here... Picture this in a little bubble over my head with me looking off in the distance dreamily.

"Wouldnt it be great to assemble a Citation 1 with all new style High quality Capacitors. Not only would the wiring be simplified from mess because all of the modern caps are 1/2 size or less but the sound has the potential to be outstanding. You also have the ability to change and add things at a ground level.
Really a Tube Audio, get your hands dirty, wet dream

GHulp"

Note that if a true collector buys these things, they will only be stored in a dry place until his estate auction (and not assembled) ...

Yeah. What a waste that would be.
I dont know how much somrthing like that would go for but Im willing to look around my gear and ask for volunteers to give up a seat. Ive always had a hankerin' for a Cit 1. For me, that would be a lifetime preamp.

Im thinking of a number :scratch2:

I'd yank the iron, the tubes, and the sockets out and ditch the rest.:yes:

[archie2]

I saw that one too. I wonder what the tubes are?:scratch2:

four KT88 power tubes and
six 12BY7A

 

[salb203]

Holy cow.... its gonna sell in the thousands! What a find.

:bash: Take that, you heathen. Just imagine, the balance & volume pots are like new on the Cit I, because they are. :drool:

My wet dream is the II, and I would NOT ditch the rest. I would replace the caps and test and replace the resistors as needed, but I would keep the circuit as HK designed it. Of course, this is likely to sell for more then the used car I just had to purchase last month and my wife would sue for divorce if I even bid on it much less won it and I wwwaaannntttt it SO BAD!:tears:

 

[Kegger]

I'd certainly have fun with those output tranny's!

Would someone be so kind as to supply the auction numbers for these kits? I've search but can't seem to find them.

Thx

Unfortunately, that's not permitted in this forum. However, they're easy to find. If I can find them, anybody can. Just go to eBay and do a search on Citation I (with a capital "i"), and then do another one for Citation II. They're both there.

 

[xy_rn]

Thanks... Guess it has to be ebay.com and not ebay.ca, etc.
