    Vintage RCA 6BQ5/EL84 Push Pull Stereo Amplifier RS177F From Working Console Model IVF 519.  I read online that these amps are 15 watts per channel but it may be 12 watts per channel as most push pull EL84 amps are 12 watts.  Good condition with all tubes and removed from a working stereo console.  This amp is very heavy at 16.5 lbs and the transformer is huge.  Although it was working this week it should be gone through and recapped.  I cleaned the dust off it and some grime but it can definitely be cleaned up a lot more.  This will make a great project and and awesome sounding amplifier with some work.  I'm pretty sure it was made in the early 1960's by RCA, 1962 or so.   I have 2 videos of the console playing a record.  Amps of this nature can be dangerous so sold as "for parts or not working" for liability reasons, plus it won't work now unless modified with power switch etc...  I will pack well and upside down to help avoid the heavy transformer bending the chassis and will ship quickly and fully insured.  The tubes may need to go in a separate box altogether to insure safe arrival.  All tubes are original RCA's probably made by Mullard.
