Rogers Cadet II value? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

4114effects · 17th Dec 2017, 10:10 pm

Hi guys, new to the forum. Bit of a valve amp enthusiast, but come from the background of building and servicing guitar amps. Anyway, I recently scored a Rogers Cadet II in a car boot sale and was wondering if anyone could help me with its value?

It's in great condition - has both the power amp and preamp part and comes with 3 of the 4 original Mullard yellow print power valves and the two original Mullard preamp valves.

Preamp is missing the wood surround. Also I don't know if the power amps were mounted on some kind of a base or plinth originally?

I've given all the pots and sockets a clean and it now works beautifully. Everything inside appears to be original too - resistors and pots. It really is a lovely thing to look at and listen to. I'm half tempted to keep it but I've already built myself a valve hi-fi so it's a bit redundant.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Checking eBay completed sales will give you the best idea of value.

First place I looked. Unfortunately I only found one non-working power amp only for £210 ... so it didn't help much
