No, the one Jay's showing is probably older - but Heathkit used to restyle the same basic products (while also changing the model numbers). I don't know the one Jay showed, but I do know the AA-100.

That's what made me look at it twice. I'm not a fan of integrateds or the 7591 in general, but this thing just caught my eye. I guess that's what I get for even looking.
I have a Fisher KX200 that uses 7591s and has the same funky "center channel". You have to pull about two amps worth of wire out of one of those to get it sounding Hi-Fi. The upside to that is, Fisher used great wire.:yes:

Yeh, rack mount, when you can clearly see the funky Lafeyette looking feet on the front. I think rack mount is fancy verbage for no cover.

Check to see if it uses the same output transformers as the AA-100 (# 51-58). If it does, they are pretty good ones (so I read).

That looks to be the Heathkit AA-50.

Yep 51-58s, big ol' suckers. She looks to have minumul use, the boards aren't crispy at all, the Mullard 5AR4 is cracked, but the quad of WH 7591s have as good a getter flash as I've seen on this tube number. All the small tubes are original Mullard save for one 7199 that was replaced with an RCA at some point. I'm dying to hook it up, but the bench is just too full right now.:thumbsdn:

Damn close, it's a 60. The more I look at it, the more impressed I become. I'm thinking this is going to be a really nice little integrated. Haven't really looked at the phon stage yet though.
Really? I thought the AA-60 (couple just sold on the 'bay) is a mono preamp, possible mate to the mono AA-61 (similar to UA-1/UA-2). :scratch2:

Maybe they used the same number for different models.

How come I'm always correcting myself around you.? It is a 50, my old eyes ain't none too good. But hey you're a girl, you ain't supposed to be so smart about cool stuff like this.
Just Kidding Just Kidding Just Kidding.Would you believe I dropped it this morning. Luckily I had taken the 7591s that are WH and test like new, out of it. I sacrificed my body and stuck my leg under it to break the fall which help. Now I have a bent corner on the face but I think I can straighten it out on my break. The leg will heal as well.:thmbsp:
