Description: Artist Audio Transformer with vintage Western Electric solder & W.E solid core wires mods. This is an audio coupling device with 2.4K ohms:600 ohms about 0.8 times of voltage ratio. Excellent for iPhone/Android /Opamp output to your favorite headamp/preamp/amplifier. It consists of two vintage Siemens B154 audio coupling transformers (Made in Germany). All soldering points had been upgraded to W.E (NASSAU) Alloy 45/55 Rosin 3-6% solder. Internal wirings had also been upgraded to Western Electric solid copper wirings from 60's & also early 1930's. Similar to Western Electric 111C coil sound but with better extensions + wider soundstage in most cases. Item works great without any issue. Recently. a pair of 70’s-80’s 24AWG pure sliver/Teflon wires had been added between transformer’s outputs to RCA jacks. It further opened up the sound without upsetting the balance (Not shown at the pictures). Cosmetic about 7/10 due to age. A vintage ebony wood had been added as chassis vibration control. See pictures for details. Basically, coupling transformers can last for decades ——— “One-time payment, lifetime enjoyments.” Due to the nature of vintage parts, this item is sold as-as. (No return).

Terms (Please read these) I sell mostly vintage audio related stuffs. As such, these items are old and typically out of spec from when they were new. I do my best to test these items and make sure they work before they’re sent out, but I do not guarantee or represent that they will meet the original specifications. I may not even be able to test them, in which case assume that they don’t work. However, there are times where I may miss something. If that happens, I hope that you would agree that the most efficient way to take care of an issue is if you simply message me before opening a case or doing anything else. Selling items on eBay is a side effect of collecting vintage electronics. I need an outlet for these items online, so I have no reason to send you something that doesn’t work unless I’ve noted that it doesn’t. This is not my day job and I am not here to try to make a quick buck. I will do my best to represent all major cosmetic damage to any items that I sell, but when you purchase something from me, expect minor scratches and nicks unless I’ve noted that the item is free of them. All sales are final. I pack items seriously with layers & layers of protections, I know what it takes to get an item to you safely after working at warehouse for more than 5 years . As a result, you may see that the shipping quote if applied shown is higher than you’re accustomed to. Rest assured, I lose money on just about every item I ship when packing materials are considered. I will do my best to get items out within a few days, however there are instances where that is not possible. Please see the handling time to know how long it may take for me to ship an item. The policies here are difficult in this regard because these vintage items in particular need to be moved and packed carefully. I do not want to damage anything by rushing. Buying the proper materials may also take time. I am not as fast as Amazon, but I guarantee I’ll pack better. Due to peak shopping season, there will be a slight delay cased by the shipping carrier. With this all being said, if there is any reason that you don’t feel that you can leave 5 stars in every category, please reach out to me before leaving any feedback other than positive with all five stars in every category.
