The photos tell it best so look carefully. They're high resolution. The amplifier/EQ has been gone over by a tech and is 100% functional. Anything this old should have the capacitors replaced. But it is working. Item presents at a solid B+ physically. The EQ sliders all work without dead spots or scratching. They are clean and pretty smooth. Output is clean as well. T...his unit uses 2N NPN/PNP pairs driving transformers to boost power. Not a cheaper chip-amp, this actually produces some power for the period. It is 4 channel fadable with 2 inputs, thus technically a 2 channel amplifier and sold as such. I believe this is 35x2 @ 4 ohms. All the wiring is still labeled. The factory bracket is included. There is a little adhesive residue on the rear sink and wiring. Also some minor wear on the sinkscreen. But overall it's amazing how well this presents for it's age. I could not find the country of manufacture on this. A lot of the chassis parts seem to be injection molded and hand fitted/assembled. My guess is it's mid 80's in period. It's definitely a first generation model. I also cannot find another example of it having sold on eBay in the recent past. Therefor I am trying to Make an educated guess of it's value based on prior sales of Clarion EQ/Boosters of this period (100-eqb & 300-eqb), condition, and rarity. If you think i'm off base, make an offer. I pack well and ship fast. I'm not new to this. Any questions, please ask prior to purchase. Allow me 4-8 hours to respond.
This item is sold as-is 'for parts or not working' because I do not accept returns on electronics and you can thank dishonest people for that.
