Description from the seller
Rare tube amplifier Heathkit W-5M, a classic of American hi-fi from the 1950s. These are Williamson-type amps, sold originally as kits and highly sought after by tube audio enthusiasts. It is a mono amplifier (advertised power about 25 W).
Characteristics:
Brand: Heathkit, model W-5M
Mono tube power amplifier
Williamson circuit, reputed for its musicality
Tubes present and one spare Genalex KT66 new
The amp is totally as-is (attic treasure) and not tested,
The condition requires a restoration of the grid which is slightly oxidized, the underside is also oxidized, but the interior and the electronic part are perfectly preserved. A removal/disassembly of the bottom plate has been done to show the state of the electronic part.
As with all tube equipment of this age, a service (capacitors, tubes) is recommended before heavy use.
