Over the years I've helped several members repair damaged beta22's. Some were built by me, most were not. As a consequence I've acquired a bunch of miscellaneous parts and well, I have no interest in doing anything with them. Here's a partial list of what the buyer would receive:
I'm sure there's more, but basically what you're buying is my beta22 parts drawer.
Now it's disclosure time - I want it clear from the start that there is no guarantee that any of the 5 boards can be brought back to life. My sincere guess is that all of them can, some with as few as 5 or 6 parts, some may take more complicated trouble shooting. That's also why you won't pay a dime other than shipping for this portion of the parts lot. And no, I won't do any work on them prior to selling them and I won't catalog the parts either. If I had the time or inclination to do so I'd fix the boards and use them, I don't. I love the beta22 but I'm done with it.
I'd bet a crafty person with very little investment other than time could have a 2ch amp up and running within days.
Price for everything listed above + probably a bit more that I've forgotten is $250 + shipping (US ONLY). Just the kit from glass jar is worth almost half that, the trafos almost make up the rest and that's ignoring everything else. Because I'm taking a bath on this stuff I reserve the right to sell it to whomever I want for whatever I want so just because you PM me first does not mean I'm going to immediately accept your offer. If I have time I'll upload a picture of what you'll be getting.
PM with any questions and feel free to check my feedback if you have concerns about dealing with me.

- [1] full kit from Glass Jar Audio including a bare beta22 pcb
- [1] bare sigma22 board, may have a few parts installed, i can't remmeber
- [4] Avel Lindberg 80VA 30V+30V transformers (all used, some only for testing, one is a little dinged up but still works fine) - will include as much mounting hardware as I can find, but no promises all with have bolts, pads, etc.
- [1] huge lot of beta/sigma parts - i have no idea how many boards could be mostly built from this
- [5] fully populated beta22 boards, 4 of which needs work and 1 of which works just fine. Gain is all over the place on these since they were all pulled from separate amps (with the exception of 2 which may match), some include upgraded caps, some don't. All have heat sinks included, some of which are installed. I'll mark the working board, it's been heavily repaired (burnt trace) but is otherwise fine.
