Original Description:
Up for sale is an excellent pair of genuine Citation II (Citation Two) output transformers. They were pulled from a working Harman Kardon Citation II power amplifier many years ago. As you can see from the photos, they have matching stamping numbers. They were rated at 60 watts in Stu Hegeman’s design - but they are as hefty as most 100 watt trannys. The fully potted beasts weigh in at just shy of 16 pounds each. I have measured all windings (plate, screen, speaker), which check out... fine. I can also report that the DCR of all windings in one tranny matches the other tranny within ONE ohm! (I guess that would make them pretty well matched.) In addition, I measured/calculated the primary and found it to be about 3200 ohms plate to plate (to 4, 8 &16 ohms) on both units. This pair has cloth leads on all the windings. And the lead length is about as good as you can manage to get from "pulled units". The speaker leads are the shortest (as usual) - but even the shortest of these is still 4 inches. And the primary leads are a minimum of 6 inches. The detailed photos show all sides of both transformers - so there will be no surprises for the buyer. The condition is typical for these units - which is to say that some of the paint is missing. (If you see a pair of Citation II trannys that have perfect brown paint, then they have probably just been repainted!) The paint on this pair is original - and it shows. But there are absolutely no dings or dents in either of the cases. So the if buyer chooses to repaint them, they will look factory new. These output transformers are some of the most sought after from the golden age of audio. They are absolutely legendary for their flat and ridiculously wide frequency response. If I have to tell you any more, then these are probably not for you. I have no idea what price the shipping calculator is likely to spit out for your location - it may be excessively high for this item. HOWEVER, I believe the safest and cheapest way to ship these awkward units is to put each one in it’s own USPS Medium Flat Rate box. That would make shipping costs to most any US address amount to less than $29 total. As usual - PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE - and you will always get the best shipping price. SHIPPING INFORMATION:*Buyer pays actual shipping costs - simple as that! I charge the buyer only what it costs me to ship the sale item(s). Unless otherwise stated, I never charge for any packing materials because any reasonably resourceful person can obtain these for nothing! Nor do I charge for any packing labor or handling or any other “trumped up” charge associated with shipping. And not only is my packing free - it’s some of the best packing you will ever see! Judge for yourself when you receive the package. I’ve packed and shipped this same sort of stuff for years and I know all the tricks to make sure you receive the merchandise unharmed. Shipping is simply a non-profit requirement to complete the sale. *I appreciate fast payment, but PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT. I promise to send you that invoice within 24 hours of the “win” time. YOU WILL GET THE MOST ACCURATE SHIPPING COST IF YOU WAIT FOR MY INVOICE! eBAY insists that a shipping cost is included in the listing before the final destination is known. Their shipping calculator is supposed to get the cost right - but often fails. Sometimes their “guesstimate” is too high. By waiting for my invoice you will be assured of paying the correct shipping charges. *All items are shipped by USPS (AKA the “Post Office”) exclusively unless other arrangements are made through me. In almost all cases - and usually by a wide margin - they offer the lowest prices for the same (or much shorter) delivery times than any of the other carrier options. Plenty of past experience has taught me that, contrary to popular belief, their handling of packages is at least as good as the other options - often much better! And unlike the others - they will even pay damage claims from time to time. If you absolutely must have a different shipping carrier - contact me, for that may well entail additional charges and conditions. *USPS has many options for shipping. In order to keep your shipping costs as low as possible, I will always look over ALL the options and then pick what I consider to be the most appropriate choice for the item(s) being shipped. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. My order of priority is safety (first), cost (second), and speed (last). Sometimes the invoice will have a couple of shipping options so that you can make your own choice. If you want a specific USPS shipping option which I have not offered on the invoice, contact me and I will try to accommodate your needs.*If the shipping option being employed features “tracking”, then I will post the tracking number on the eBay screen provided for that. If the shipping option being employed provides no tracking, then I will always e-mail you to let you know the date the item(s) were shipped out. Please consider this when you leave feedback concerning communication. *I CANNOT CONTROL SHIPPING TIMES - I CAN ONLY CONTROL HOW FAST THE ITEMS GET SHIPPED!! When you go to leave feedback, I simply ask that you please compare the date I received (PayPal) payment confirmation against the shipping date printed on the package you receive. In almost every case it will be the next business day - you can’t expect me to ship a whole lot faster than that! Bear in mind that eBay sales are not my livelihood - I work a full time day job. And remember, USPS is only open daytime Monday through Friday and a couple of hours on Saturday morning - never on Sundays or holidays. (And other carrier options may have even fewer operating hours/days.) PAYMENT FORMS ACCEPTED: *PayPal *Payment upon local pickup in western Massachusetts USA
