100 WATT VINTAGE HEATHKIT AA-1214 STEREO INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER – VERY RARE!! PRICE REDUCED!! This is an extremely rare opportunity to obtain a mint/near-new condition example of this very collectable, practical and particularly attractive amplifier.Comes complete with the Assembly & Operation Manual (pdf) and 2 No. mains accessories plugs (for linked items such as record deck, tape recorder, etc.). These plugs fit the two AC sockets which are provided to the rear, so as to furnish both switched and unswitched power for the linked equipment. Line voltage is present at the unswitched socket whenever the amps power cable is connected to an AC source, whilst line voltage is present at the switched socket only when the amps power switch is in the on position. I have obtained much of the following information/specifications from the internet: I understand that this model was produced between 1973 & 1976. I very much liked (and agree with!) these reviews that I also found online: “In its simplicity and functionality, we detect notes of Bauhaus and Braun, and its clean lines place it at home in nearly any setting. Create the perfect minimalist system with this integrated amplifier, a pair of efficient speakers, and a turntable, or a Sonos Connect. Voilà!” Heathkit Brand, AA-1214 “Compact and stylish.

Demo before you buy. The History Of Heathkit: The Heath Company was originally founded as an aircraft company in 1912 by Edward Bayard Heath with the purchase of Bates Aeroplane Co, soon renamed to the E.B. Heath Aerial Vehicle Co. Starting in 1926 it sold a light aircraft, the Heath Parasol, in kit form. Heath died during a 1931 test flight. The company reorganized and moved from Chicago to Niles, Michigan. In 1935, Howard Anthony purchased the then-bankrupt Heath Company, and focused on selling accessories for small aircraft. After World War II, Anthony decided that entering the electronics industry was a good idea, and bought a large stock of surplus wartime electronic parts with the intention of building kits with them. In 1947, Heath introduced its first electronic kit, the O1 oscilloscope that sold for $50. The price was unbeatable at the time.CASH ON COLLECTION PLEASE
