Who actually made it I don't know, could have been contracted to SAE but that's not what the name says.
The terminal screwdriver test... uh I haven't tried yet...I'd like to think the protection circuit would kick in!
I should note that screwdrivers are horribly inefficient transducers, almost like my Maggies.
Nice lightshow though...:thmbsp:

Bose 1800?

I think they tried that one. I'm sticking with SAE, or one of its ATI or GAS spawn.

I doubt Peavey, too... Their own flagship of the era, the CS-800, was a monster in it's own right, and I cannot imagine the need to contract out the production. 20, yes, 20 output transistors per channel. Same 2000VA/1800Watt's for the PT.
One hint I missed that may make it easier was this
From that, I think we can be pretty sure it's not someone known for building their own amps...
From that, and the fact that the banana jacks and RCA inputs look original, and it has 1/4" inputs as well, that would indicate a company better known in the home, but with pro ambitions. I think that rules out JBL, EV, and other companies that had a firm hold on the pro market at the time.
No, we're dealing with a home player here, I think... Now to think, it would be a company that would need a lot of power- Infinity was not building their own amps at the time, so I think it's not one of theirs. Who else was a home company with pro ambitions, whose speakers required a lot of power, and who may have been a client for SAE? The answer lies there.

Kinda Screams crazy James B., I'm gonna side with you on that one, not just the outputs but, that tranny too! If it's a cast piece, it's James's

The brand name on this amp has not yet appeared.
The tranny is stacked plates not cast.
I did not see on the inside any other brand name.
M Jarve you clearly know yer gear--on the right track.
I'll have to see up close inside a contemporary SAE amp to compare. Sorry, pictures won't do--I'll have to get one...
