Powerful Vintage Amp
Designed and built in the late 70s, here is a genuine ‘Made in Japan’ shelf-bender. Boasting many useful features often seen in Japanese designs of the 1970s, this is tested for a couple of hours with no issues whatsoever. Powerful, clean and crackle-free. Physical condition is excellent, but with a couple of little nicks on the top edge of the front fascia. These don’t really show-up in the pictures, but need to be pointed out.
