https://www.ebay.com/str/businessbushido*Photos are of the actual item you will receive - Store mascot NOT included*Parts/ Restoration condition HARMAN KARDON Citation A Solid State Stereo Preamp Control Center!
You are buying (1) "Citation A" preamp.
RARE!!!
This was the "Worlds first professional Solid State Stereo Control Center" (Preamp). It is one of the finest professional achie...vements of Stewart Hegeman and the Citation Engineering Group. It has a bandwidth of +0, -1/4 db from 1 to 1, 000, 000 cycles per second and has been called a "wire with gain". It is constructed of the finest materials, with factory assembled epoxy military computer grade circuit boards, gold plated front panel and the finest knobs and switches.
This would make a great restoration project! The physical condition of this unit is good, The buttons and knobs all move freely and connections in the back in in good shape. This unit has been sitting in storage so there is some dust and metal knobs could use a polish.
All bass, treble and volume controls are stepped with individual resistors and capacitors. There is a center channel output with separate volume control that can be run to a subwoofer and there is separate power switching for your power amplifier as well. This is a very impressive unit and would make a great centerpiece to showcase your system, whether old or new. You will find many write-ups on this model on the internet.
Sold AS-IS due to age.
As a point of reference, a non-working Citation A sold last month on Ebay for $280
Happy Bidding!!!

I double checked with a magnifying glass and it turns out that the fuse was in fact blown, I replaced the fuse and the system powers up and the amp comes on line! If you would like pictures verifying this, just send a message.
