A bit of a beast. Not their best era of course, but compared to a lot of the BPC around then, it was only B. Huge transformer, big discreet outputs for the main amp with pre/main couplers so it may have potential as a power amp.
Found this one locally, which is good because it weighs a hefty 32+ lbs. Basically in nice shape but it looked sad as it was very dusty and missing its feet. Cleaned up nicely and Karma kicked in as last week I picked up a whole Yamaha/PSB/Paradigm HT set up with a RXV-392 that goes into protection and shuts off as soon as it is turned on. The feet are a perfect fit!
Before taking it home I checked the DC offset, 25mv one side, about 5 the other. A very quick test showed sound came out of both channels. After getting it back together I tried the tuner section with headphones and everything seems fine. Will hook it up to speakers and report back.
