Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100


Hello to all...

Have never had a tube amp. 2 vintage Bedini amps for sale close to me: Bedini 100 for $500, Bedini 150 for $900...

Thoughts/suggestions for those with vintage tube amp experience, especially Bedini owner/former owners.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions...

Many years ago, I owned the Bedini 25/25 amplifier and liked it very much.  

HOWEVER, as noted above by @atmasphere, I also suggest you have any Bedini amplifier you purchase get FULLY checked out that includes getting the filter capacitors in the power supply replaced before you start using the amplifier.   Because of its age, some of the wiring (and other parts) may also need to be replaced.   This could be expensive but I do not know.    

Maybe the more important question is how do you find a qualified Tech to do these repairs.  Based on the age of these amplifiers, maybe you should consider other newer amplifiers.   
You are missing a chance to buy two amps that can still compete with any of today's 4 figure amps! I have a 25/25 and a 150/150. Depending upon their past usage the power supply caps may not need immediate replacement.
I sent an email asking about their new Q series. I was very interested. Zero replies, not a good sign for buyer confidence.


I had a Bedini 100/100 and wish I still did. While you would never mistake it for a tube amp, it’s a great sounding solid state amp with the tightest bass you’ll ever hear.
