Pea Turgh Posted June 12 Posted June 12 They kinda look like they’ve been stored in a damp shed. You’d want to make sure the coils haven perished. Also the cabinets are made from MDF, so that could also be fooked. Quote

andytoad Posted Monday at 14:01 Posted Monday at 14:01 I'm loving this unique looking amp! Cheap too... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236174527854?itmmeta=01JZ0J4B7Q7NHJTC8QJZ0ZT3QY&hash=item36fd194d6e:g:zwgAAeSwfw9oYm00 Quote

I particularly like the apparently redundant addition of the UV lamp grill underneath the stainless steel front panel. I wonder what the cable ties are securing on the rear panel? Quote

It of a bargain with unique history by the looks of it. Fixer upper? He was also selling another amp too Quote

He was also selling another amp too Agreed it's a good price. Not sure what fixing up is either necessary or possible though? Other than a missing EQ slider tip it all looks fine. Depending upon the fixing centers, it could be a candidate to ditch the heavy wooden sleeve and mount in a lightweight ABS 19" case? Quote

Yes I was also just trying to work out if I can get to Southend but bloody London gets in the way for me... probably not worth it due to the six hour drive for me sadly... Quote
SimonK Posted Wednesday at 09:55 Author Posted Wednesday at 09:55 Here's the picture and description so that we have this very unique amp on the thread for posterity! "This is a very unique amplifier. It started life as the head section of a 1 x 15 Trace Elliot combo amp, which i bought at the Bass Centre in Wapping Wall, London. Eventually I removed the amplifier and took it to Trace Elliot's in Witham, Essex. They replaced the power caps and fitted it in a sleeve. They also added a 'Zorbal Network' circuit so that a second speaker output could be added. Finally they fitted a GP12X preamp (solid state) to the amplifier. I spent a very pleasant day at their manufacturing factory while they did the work on it. (I still have a copy of an invoice for the work). When they tested the output with an oscilliscope it gave a reading of 272 watts. It has a typically clear powerfull Trace Elliot sound. Sadly I am selling the amp as I am moving abroad." 2 Quote

I had a look at the Trace Elliot brochures thread on here to see if I could find the combo this came from. No luck, but I think it's a bit of a shame the original 12ax7 valve preamp was removed in favour of a solid state version. Quote
