WTB AP-952 Tomcat amp
Still looking for one of these amps for a machine. Missing tubes is OK, so long as it's restorable I'd buy it.

Tell us what machine, please. I have an old tomcat but it’s buried. I can figure out what it came out of though, so give me a start please.

also, it may be from a victor machine. The AP-952 was also used in the VE12-12 (Tuscany), the VE10-51, and the VE12-25.

Ok thanks. The one I have comes out of a Victor 12-series. When I can get to it I will update you.

Re: WTB AP-952 Tomcat amp
well. that's a ⅓ chance of it being what I need. If it's a 12-25, it's precisely what I needPeterF wrote: Wed Jan 05, 2022 10:29 pm Ok thanks. The one I have comes out of a Victor 12-series. When I can get to it I will update you.

It’s going to be a while before I can catch up and devote the time to unbury it. Rebuilding from a house fire!
