Rogers HG88 Mk2 Valve Amplifier – Vintage British Classic

A proper piece of British hi-fi history. This is a Rogers HG88 Mk2 integrated valve amplifier, presented in good cosmetic condition for its age and offered as an untested project piece.

The HG88 series represents classic British valve amplifier design from the golden era of hi-fi. These amplifiers are widely respected for their musical presentation and build quality and are increasingly sought after by collectors and restoration enthusiasts.

🔹 Highlights

• Original Rogers HG88 Mk2 integrated valve amplifier
• Classic British push-pull valve design using ECL86 valves
• Approx. 12–15W per channel typical output
• Appears to be an extremely original example internally
• Original transformers present and appear untouched
• Internal wiring and tag boards look original and unmodified
• No obvious signs of catastrophic failure or burnt components visible
• Valves present as shown
• Excellent candidate for sympathetic restoration or service

🔹 Internal Condition

Internal photographs and video have been provided so buyers can assess the condition themselves. The amplifier appears to remain a very original example.

• Transformers appear original with no obvious signs of overheating or leakage
• Original wiring and tag boards appear intact
• No visible evidence of major component failure
• Typical dust, oxidation and age-related grime present

Overall, the internal condition appears consistent with an untouched vintage amplifier that has not been recently modified or heavily repaired.

🔹 Condition

Cosmetically good for its vintage. There is age-related wear as expected, including light rusting to the chassis and typical dust accumulation internally.

This unit has not been powered on or electrically tested and is therefore being sold as a project piece.

It is therefore being sold strictly as: Untested / Spares / Repairs / Restoration Project.

🔹 Inspection

• Visual inspection only
• No power applied
• No internal work carried out

If I decide to have this professionally serviced and restored it will likely be relisted at a significantly higher price, as these amplifiers can become extremely desirable once restored.

🔹 What’s Included

• Rogers HG88 Mk2 amplifier
• Valves as currently fitted
• No additional accessories

🔹 Shipping & Packing

This will be carefully packed using reinforced boxing, protective padding and secure valve protection. Valves will be removed and individually wrapped where appropriate for safe transit.

Collection welcome. Sensible questions welcome.
