This is a vintage GAS Ampzilla. It is in good condition and is working however when turned on the amp makes a low volume hum. The amp was not driven hard during testing but both channels are working. The amp blows speaker output fuses if you power on the preamp first and may blow fuses in other circumstances. The white square fuse plates on the front makes it easy to access the fuses and there are go...od 1A fuses in place now. The original GAS needle meters do not illuminate and the needles do not move. The electrostatic headphone switch clicks but this feature has not been tested.
This very heavy and classic era amplifier with unique styling. Cosmetically it is in good condition with mild wear with small scratches on the white end caps, light swirls on the plastic needle meters and some residual dust on the heat sink and fan assembly. The fan on the bottom is missing the mounting screws and brackets and the fan did not come on when I was testing. The heavy duty power cord and electronic connectors on the back are in great shape.
This amp will likely need replacement parts for a restoration project and it is being sold as is.
