My first post here! I'm trying to find some information on WE 142a and other WE gear pictured in the flickr link above. One of the 142's is missing the 116b amp sections. I'd like to complete it, but wondering how difficult it will be (I'm guessing very) to locate and acquire them. Perhaps I should sell and move-on.
Any advice/guidance on this and value would be most appreciated!
:confused: critical1ear
You don't see them come up for sale very often ! It maybe easier to find a schematic for one, and build one from scratch.I think you already surmised that though.
Might be a good opportunity to go MONO!

Value is what you can get out of it.
Even with expensive art worth millions, sometimes sells for way more or way less than appraised.
That said, nice amps!
expect anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand on eBay. Definitely offer international shipping
Those are WAY cool! My guess is they will fetch big bucks.
PP 350B and in mint condition.
too bad someone stole the input section from one.
However, that is likely for low level signals. everything you need is there for a basic line level power amp.
I'd love to hear them.

If you are still seeking an ID for your WE 22D mixer, see this: http://louise.hallikainen.org/Broadc...oads/we903.pdf
might be easier, to build your own '116b amp sections'.Quote:

The point about those maybe not being needed is a good one, if they are low level preamps, just do what's necessary to hook up direct, and make up a couple blank plates to cover...Voila!...matched set.
This is a most excellent site. Thanks. What I wouldn't give to have enough space for those horns...Quote:

OT. There are redheads and there are redheads. Imagine working for this one - The old man and the redhead - The Globe and Mail .
This thread is going into unintended places (pun intended). I was offered 6k for the pair of we 142a's. Reasonable?
You are spot on. They ARE hard to live with...Quote:

And I am probably not the easiest in the world to live with...
Donmain blocked here at work.........what kind of photos are these?
To Critical1ear, if someone offered you $6K, I bet they are worth more.

Ron she's a pro model, not my redhead, the other one. So may be something objectionable there. I took that line out in the interest of not putting anyone at risk. To my eyes at least my girl is gorgeous. And honestly, that's the only set of eyes I care about.
I agree may well be worth more than the 6k to get back on track...OTOH, a bird in the hand...
