This beauty is now up for grabs, cracking 70’s solid state amplifier and a bit of a looker….

I bought this a while back to use with vintage Spendor speakers, however, at 100 watts it has far too much power and I have now decided to move them on.

The amplifier required repair when I bought it and it spent a while with Mike Powell having a bit of an overhaul. It now plays beautifully and should work faultlessly for new owner for years to come. There are minor marks to the casework, as would be expected for amplifier of this vintage and one of the VU meters is a bit sluggish (Mike said these are notoriously delicate) but everything works as it should and it has had proper 4mm banana binding posts fitted in place of the old plastic cinch type connectors.

Asking £550 £450 collected from Oldham, Greater Manchester.

This is a great amp- probably much better then you think it is! Very clear, involving sound.

I had one myself a couple of years ago.

I also happen to think its beautiful. No picture compares to seeing one in the flesh. The switchgear is so solid and you will not get this kind of mechanical quality today without spending thousands.

Someone buy this. The higher echelons of Sony vintage gear are outstanding.

Stunning! as a teenager I remember drooling over these at the Sony Showroom ( not centre) in Regent St , London in the glorious seventies.

Pity I'm on the south coast.

BTW I have TA 5650 V-fet.
