Vintage Heathkit UA-1 Mono block WA-P2 Tube pre amp with tuner

A while back I purchased the Heathkit WA-P2 pre amp and tuner on speculation that perhaps I could start to piece together a era correct Heathkit stereo.


Last night the UA-1 mono block came my way without tubes, luckily I have a few spare EL84's and a spare 6CA4 rectifier tube. I still need to pick up a 6AN8 phase splitter tube but threw in the 6AQ8 for picture purpose only.



This system presently will run in mono only, I would need a second WA-P2 pre amp and UA-1 to run a second channel. I will keep my eyes open and see what comes my way.

This is the system as it sits now. I have yet to power it up and will take it to a local tech to bring it to power on a step up transformer.

There is a good write up on how amazing the UA-1 or the UA-2 amps are here.
