Hate to part with it, but my wife says it must go. We already have too much audio stuff, and she wants more fabric for quilt projects, so....
But, enough about my problems, here\'s what is for sale:
This is my Dad\'s custom-built stereo receiver/amplifier. Dad had it built by his friend Jim, because Jim\'s soldering skills were better than Dad\'s, even though Dad was a ham radio operator/tinkerer. It was in regular use for years, driving the BIC Studio Monitor speakers with a very clean signal. At 260 watts, it has a lot of power! It also has the Dolby FM processor installed, so FM signals are real clean.
I also have the original manual which was used for building the unit. I am strongly recommending that you go into the case and clean all the contacts, because the unit has sat idle for 6 years since my folks passed away. The pictures show that the fuse holder in the back has a crack; it still gets power,but I\'d replace it before putting the unit into service. If I had more time, I would do this clean-up myself and use it. Instead, this is your chance to have a very fine amplifier/receiver which will match the fidelity of your other components.
This amp is...HEAVY! Will likely weigh about 44# when shipped, so be prepared to pay some shipping costs. I also offer local pick up in the western suburbs of Chicago; we can set that up per terms of sale.
(At the request of a viewer I have added photos of the original manuals and a couple of the charts/diagrams, all used during the assembly and adjustment of the amp. )
Thanks for looking! Happy offerding!
