Very nice, what kind of wattage does this amp put out? Again, those are very nice.

The two I showed the insides of are 1569a amps, and they are 80 watts each. The two with the red stickers on them are 1568a amps, and they are 40 watts each.

I'm keeping the 1569s

Hehe. Back in the late '90s I knew a kid who worked at a theater that was closing down and the plaza to be demolished. He showed us the "crazy green amps" and our jaws dropped. We tried and tried to legally get ahold of them but failed. Sadly, they probably got smashed with the building.

Exactly hyper... Bogen KO-100 amps on the LF drivers, These amps on the HF drivers, and I'll keep my Tapco on the Peaveys

I'll then be using my QuickSilvers on my JBL C36's which will become my main living room system. The Altecs are gonna go in my basement cave..

I worked on dozens of them in NYC school PA systems. Nice amps, I remember them being quite the beeotch to rack mount without a helper behind the rack.

Nice amps indeed, but you need to replace those ancient Black Cat and paper electrolytic caps!

I rebuilt a set of those 69s a couple of years ago. Super nice amps, sold them on the bay for 1k. Wish I didn't now. You will love them.

These won't be sold... :nono: They're gonna be enjoyed. I've heard WAY too many people that had some of these say they wished they would never had sold them.. .
