Sold: ECP Torpedo 1 w/extra tubes

Prototype ECP Torpedo 1 (aka T1) built by Tom from ECP. for 120V power. Although I think internal jumpers can be removed for 240V input.

Comes with many extra tubes, see photos.

I also used a white paint pen to give contrast the the volume knob indicator. See pictures.

Has slight hum when the lid is on. All mods have been done to correct this and is only barely audible when there is no music playing. Most of the time not noticeable, but may bother some.

Power cable not included. Includes nine pair of compatible tubes, which includes a pair of cryo Miniwatt E90CC’s. Price includes shipping to lower 48.


$375 for Friends/Contribes
$400 for everyone else

This is tempting just out of curiosity, but I should probably continue saving for a 3Fmk2. GLWS
