TWO rebuilt Carver C-9 units
10/29/25 at 00:48:26

It is a busy time of year, but I still have two Carver C-9 units left. One is in fair shape but works fine and I replaced the RCA jacks and all of the electrolytic capacitors which is a must. It will sell for $180 shipping included.
The other unit has the above mentioned features but sports a new power transformer along with 2 new integrated circuits by Texas instruments. It will sell for $280 shipped and is in excellent condition.
Both units can be seen at US Audio Mart where good photos are available.

Just an update here on the units. Let's give another break on prices. Instead of $280 for the one w/o ears and in really good shape, drop it to $220 +shipping.
And the other unit with ears but not as pretty, will drop from $180 to only a little less at $175, but shipping for this second unit is Free.

BTW, BOTH UNITS CAN BE SEEN AT US AUDIO MART

Ok guys, only one C-9 left now. It is the one with rack ears, and does not have a full rebuild, but it does have all 10 electrolytics replaced, and RCA jacks replaced as well. I put in a new power inlet too so that you can remove the cord when installing or uninstalling, making it easier to deal with.

Thanks JB for the purchase.
