WWII USA, B-27 Bomber Amplifier

[Sput]

Oh yeah baby! This is what I'm talking about! B-27 Super Fortress Iron.
I had to show this. I found it on a auction site. If you're interested search for "WWII U S AIR FORCE TUBE AMPLIFIER".

I'd love to have this...just to have it...but my wife says I got enough of that stuff.

Nice amp, but I'd really like to fly that baby! :)

Very sexy fuselage... :love:

[Pinknik]

B-29, sir.

[jt1stcav]

Cool. But you'd need two for stereo. I'm guessin' it was the power amp for its radio transmitter...

Super FortressI want an entire line of WWII American inspired audio gear: B-24 Liberator CD player, Republic P-47 Thunderbolt preamp, Convair B-32 Dominator amplifier, Douglas Devastator speakers which have the Curtiss Helldiver bass drivers and Douglas A-1 Skyraider tweeters and C-47 Skytrain cables.

Don't forget the B-17 turntable with the P-51D escort moving coil cartridge.

I like your style.:righton:

B-29, sir.

You can tell that amp came out of a B-29 and not a B-27? How could anyone know that?
If it's the plane picture...well, that's what Goggle gave me.

looks like a piece of boat-anchor radio hardware more than an audio amp, though it might be a modulator unit as well... Looks like P-P 807s in the output stage.

Nah, the amp could've been from a Buick for all I know. The plane I know, because my dad is a model airplane enthusiast and historian.

[Chris Schoen]

Yeah, I bet "30 Seconds over Winterland" would sound great on that!

So far as I know, there is no historicaly operational US bomber designated as the B-27.

I did not remember any B-27 operational US bomber plane ( I am an amateur military historian), and I googled "B-27" and found other stuff, but no US Bomber.

Google must have a "Mistake" regarding the caption or description of the photo of the B-29 "Sentimental Journey" if it said it is a "B-27." Rolf E.

I found a site that claims a B-27 was a proposed high altitude variant of a Martin B-26 Marauder. As far as the picture goes, that definitely is a Boeing B-29.

This may be a servo amp.
B29 turrets could be synchronised so they
all fired at the same target.
