THE OUTPUT IS RATED AT WATTS 85 WATTS RMS PER CHANNEL INTO 8 OHMS. THIS UNIT IS IN EXCELLENT WORKING ORDER. THE FRONT PANEL IS SHOWING ITS AGE WITH SIGNS OF SOMETHING BEING SPLASHED ON THE FRONT AND THEREFORE SOME BUBBLING OF THE PAINT. IT IS NOT REALLY THAT NOTICEABLE UNTIL YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT IT. THE LETTERING IS ALL INTACT. THE TOP COVER HAS SOME MARKS ON IT AS DOES THE HANDLES, BUT THEY ARE MINOR AND COULD BE RESPRAYED? THE REAR SPEAKER TERMINALS ARE SPRING LOADED BARE WIRE TYPES. THE AMP IS CAPABLE OF RUNNING TWO PAIRS OF SPEAKERS. THERE ARE INPUTS FOR PHONO 1 AND 2, TUNER AND AUX. TAPE. INPUT SELECTION IS DONE VIA ROTARY KNOB ON THE FRONT. IT ALSO HAS BASS, TREBLE, EACH WITH TURNOVER SWITCHS AND A DEFEAT SWITCH FOR THE PURISTS TO TAKE THE TONE CONTROLS OUT OF CIRCUIT. THERE IS THE NORMAL BALANCE CONTROL TOGETHER WITH A ROTARY CONTROL FOR SELECTING MONO/STEREO/REVERSE. THERE IS A MUTING SWITCH, HIGH AND LOW FILTER SWITCHS, TWO TAPE MONITOR SWITCH AND RECORD DUBBING SELECTOR SWITCH AND GAIN (VOLUME) CONTROL. THIS AMP IS A CLASSIC FROM THE SEVENTIES AND EXUDES THAT TYPICAL HIGH QUALITY SOUND OF THE LATE SEVENTIES. THIS AMPLIFIER HAS BEEN FULLY TESTED AND THERE ARE NO CRACKLES FROM NOISY POTS OR SWITCHS. THIS IS NOT A MULTI-VOLTAGE UNIT AND IS 240 VOLT ONLY. THE TUNER IS ALSO SHOWING IT'S AGE WITH A FEW CHIPS ON THE EDGES OF THE FRONT FASCIA BUT ALL THE LETTERING IS INTACT. THE KNOB FOR MPX HI-BLEND IS MISSING. THE FM WORKS EXCELLENTLY BUT THE AM IS NON EXISTENT - THIS MAY BE SOMETHING MINOR??? THIS HAS ALSO AN OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROL AND A FEW THINGS YOU DON'T NORMALLY SEE ON TUNERS SUCH AS TAPE DECK INPUT AND LINE IN/LINE OUT TOGETHER WITH 4 CHANNEL MPX OUTPUT AND FM MULTIPATH OUTPUT. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING.
