EICO
EICO began as a test-equipment kit company in Brooklyn, and its hi-fi line shows the same practical streak. The archive has three EICO amplifiers: the HF-20 integrated amplifier with 6L6 output tubes, the HF-89 stereo power amplifier rated at 50 watts per channel from ultra-linear EL34s, and the ST-40 stereo integrated amplifier with four 7591 output tubes.
The HF-89 listing is among the most detailed restoration records in the archive, and the ST-40 came from its first owner with the original build manual. EICO equipment was sold both as kits and factory-assembled, so the same model can vary a great deal in build quality.
The original EICO profile and the EICO maker page cover the company from 1945 to its liquidation in 1999.
