No Name Amp Find

[lotusstp]

:scratch2:
Bought this from an old friend who pulled it out of a bar he used to manage... Hefty pro amp, bridgeable. Rounded heatsinks. My first thought was Hafler, but cannot find a visual match. No markings on back of unit, just a serial #. Any ideas? More pics to follow...

show the insides, and back. That should help.

Will take more pics tomorrow. Case is bolted together with weird mini torx screws. It looks *somewhat* Hafler-esque. Like a 2400 kinda sorta

Face plate looks Bryston.

The faceplate is Hafleresque. I received an extra faceplate very similar to this when I purchased my DH-500 a couple of years ago. However, photos of the back and innards should help answer the question.

Looks like an amp for a tank.

Here's a shot of the back showing the unique heatsink design. NOT Hafler-esque!

 

[ouimetnick]

A few shots of the inside should help out somewhat. Maybe it was a custom diy amp?

Russian ?

 

[bluesky]

No idea.

might be some clues inside .. looks like it needs a good dusting out anyway .

Certainly does need a good cleanup. Yellowish dust harkening back to the era before NYS prohibited smoking in bars. Just waiting for a spot on my bench to open up. Kinda cool heatsinks, tho... no sharp edges!

Looks heavy,heavy duty and a nice, built like a tank.

Clean it up first.

That brown "crap" will eat away the copper on your PCB and cause failures!

Face plate looks Bryston.

That was my impression also.

 

[frommerstop]

It sure looks like a Pro series Hafler... except for those heat sinks.

Maybe a custom, based on a Hafler chassis?

 

[lotusstp]

Case off... top view! Looks upside down to me... ?

 

[bowtie427ss]

Looks like they sourced their faceplate extrusions from the same place Hafler did. Seems the Hafler similarities end there.

 

[Satch]

First thought I had was 'Bryston', but the Hafler frommerstop shows sure looks like the pic from the OP.

...and it's a Rockford! Edit... quick Google search confirms the Hafler-Rockford connection. So there's some common lineage there! Now to find out where this puppy fits in the line up...
