FS: 1972 Traynor YBA-3

I'm sad to let this go but it's time to let someone else enjoy this beauty.

I guarantee that this is the cleanest looking vintage Traynor you will find. Barely a scratch on it except for a few marks on the bumpers. In excellent working condition, some of the caps were replaced a few years ago and the remaining originals are still good.

I had this amp professionally modified to use 7027 (JJs with lots of life left) output tubes instead of EL34/6CA7s. They give the amp a little more clean headroom and low end punch. This mod is completely reversible though and any tech should be able to restore it to original condition. I believe the preamp currently has 5751s as well making it even cleaner and smoother sounding.

120-140 watts, comes with a soft cover that is a little dirty but it does the trick. I also have the original schematic that was glued to the inside of the chassis. I had it laminated to preserve it. Power cord has been upgraded to 3 prong grounded cord.

This is a loud amp that can easily compete with big guitars and a loud drummer. 4 ohm minimum but it produces slightly more power at 8 ohms. Keep in mind the speaker outs are wired in series in this amp so 2 4 ohm 810s will total 8 ohms not 2 ohms with this amp.

Obviously I would prefer a local sale but I am willing to ship and may be able to share some of the shipping costs with the buyer.

No trades please. My price reflects the condition of this amp and it is fairly firm.

$700 + shipping or partial shipping. *****SOLD******
Fellow Canucks, I would love to keep this amp on this side of the border where it truly belongs but I'll follow the money if I have to .

Based when I sold my Fender 300 PRO I estimate shipping with UPS ground, insurance and packaging will be around $60-$120 depending on location. If you are within a few hours of me I don't mind meeting you half way somewhere. Northern NY, Vermont and New Hampshire are not out of the question.

Give this amp a good home please! It deserves it.

Feel free to ask any questions.

thanks

PICTURES!

Original schematic, scorch marks and all.





















copy of schematic, a little easier to read without the scorch marks.

Thanks for the bumps guys. Its as pristine as you can possibly get. Just found out I'm getting a nice bonus that will easily cover the cost of the new amp I ordered, so I may end up keeping it. Still available...for now.

as a fellow Canadian who has played through various Traynor amps for pretty much my whole musical life... I'd like to put in a good word. A great, RELIABLE amp at a great price.
