Hi everyone, I found these two amps,
the JVC JA-S31 and Scott A426.
Do you think they are worth collecting?
Thanks in advance!

I rebuilt a Scott a-436, and it sounds nice afterwards. It was a basket case prior to the rebuild. They look to be in nice condition if the price is right.

I'd give the Scott a shot, that is a lesser-known model. Comes from a time when the brand was being built by Samsung in Korea.

I see a lot of that era Scott in my area. Seems like the oldtimers around here were buying based on brand loyalty/name.

There is also quite a bit of older, US-built Scott tube- and early solid state- gear around here as well.

The JVC has darlington power packs as the output amp stage. I'm fine with that on a moderate-power unit, although servicing has gotten to be tricky due to all the counterfeit parts on the web.

Myself, I cannot resist old gear in such nice cosmetic condition, so I'd likely take a chance on both!
