I have decided to part with this great amp. I have had it completely revitalized at Ontario Audio/Video. The following work was done;

Main capacitors were upgraded to 10,000uf 100v (x2)
Transister-Drv were upgraded (x8)
Assorted resistors replaced (x4)
the two lamps were replaced
Resoldered PC board connections
Pots cleaned & load tested.

I have a receipt for the work done.

This is a great amp but I need to part with it.

I am asking $500.00 as I have over $330.00 into the rework done.

Buyer will need to cover shipping.

I also have an Anthem AVM-20 for sale with remote and user manual and asking $400.00

    OK Guys is my price that much out of whack for this great amp revitalized.


    $475.00

    If Canadian Polkie Buys from me today (June2,2013), and pays me by interact e-transfer they get this amp for $450.00.

    Please call me at 705-740-9082 as my isp keeps filtering my e-mail

    FWIW, I sold my redone TFM-42 for $450 locally last summer. I would have parted for less but no one approached me when it was for sale online.

    You may have to bite a bit as you'll never get what you invest back in return.

    Great amps, I bought one a few years back for about $250 local, all original though other than upgraded LED lamps.

    I loved mine, used it for 7 or 8 years on multiple types of speakers.
    Ran a pair of low impedance planers for about 4 years, great amp, and with the "revitalization" I am certain it is worth every penny!

    GLWTS.

    Yes your amp is insanely nice dropping the price is not the issue it's just the timing and finding someone who is in need.
    Put it on one of the other many sites and be patience and firm at $500.
