Mine sounds pretty good, I am using it in my room and it gives a nice warm sound. I
am going to have it cleaned up by my tech cause it has some rust on the transformer and i want to get it looking just right.
Now i don't know to much about it and cant find anything on the web for the name thats stamped on mine. Callipers M-300. I only paid a 100 bucks for it at the pawn shop. I thought i got a good deal cause i have never seen one before. But guess what??? Along comes 3 more.....lol.
Does yours work Greg?

Well thats a good question, I only have Pioneer receivers and amps and an old Sanyo to compare it to, But i would say thats its a little softer than the Pioneer if thats any help. I am using a set of Paradigm Mini 3se that i have used on the Pioneers before so i get an idea using the same speakers. I see that the fellow has tested the amp to 450 at 8 ohms from your post, but i have to tell you that i think its allot lower than that. I have a Pioneer SA9100 that puts out 65 rms and it packs a mean wallop that this amp cant compare to in the lower bass levels. But just the fact that these amps seem to be mysterious it may be worth your time to get one. The nude pics are the same as my amp, it has to be the same one. Like i said i only paid $100.00 for it so dont give him $300.00 if you can get away with it. But i really need to hook it up to my Sound Dynamics SMT1000s and give it a good run to see exactly what it will do. Maybe i just need to open it up to see that much power. Let me know if you get it or not.
Did he give you any other information about it?

I don't know U/E
I think they might be closer to generic units that any shop could assemble. Just my WAG though! BTW I can read 1 of the o/p's on this one. A Sanken 2SC2922, other one looks like a 2SC2925. Not sure about number 2. Any one tell me if this is capable of 250wpc@ 8ohm?

If you look at my transformer it looks the same as yours......but mine runs great, Don't let that stop you from getting a nice amp, try it out for sure. Ya know, Buy the time you decide to buy it or not he might not have any left. Just a thought....
