    First hit on google....

    General :
    Rarity - Rare
    Retail Price - 250
    Designed in - USA
    Manufactured In - USA
    First Year - 1959
    Last Year - 1962
    Channels - Two
    Tube Design - Yes
    Speaker Connections - Two sets

    Amplifier :
    RMS Power Per Channel - 30
    Cooling Fan(s) - No
    Auxillary Metering - Yes

    I am guessing with the right speaker it will sound pretty good, but it does not have alot of value. I would play with it to see if you like the sound and then pass it on (let e-bay set the price for you - don't expect to make much on it though)

    Michael
    Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
    Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
    Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
    Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
    Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
    Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms)

    There is a model 9 on e-bay, if it is anything like that I would play with it.
    Does it have tubes?
    What kind of connections can be made on the back?

    If you don't want it let me know, if it powers up and all the tubes glow, I might be interested.

    I just went to classicaudio.com and this is what they have on the amp.

    model 8B
    type Power
    Vintage 1964-1968
    Orig $ 285.00
    Used $ 1133.00/2056.00

    I would say it would probably be worth investing a little money to get this working well. At least I wouldn't just give it away.
