Dynaco Stereo 400 amp 200 Watts Per Channel Amp

This unit is cosmetically in great condition.I am told by the previous owner that the unit works great but my testing has been limited to a power up.It worked well.There was a an obvious problem with a transformer or some other electronic component.This was repaired with the 2 cylinders you see in the (second) picture.Unit looks great.Sold as is.
Yup looks great, if you don't mind some of its guts dangling from it... Seems at least one person agreed with the seller.
More later,
Tour...

    Are those outboard Caps?

    I prefer my guts on the INside, not ON the side, thank you.

    I'm adding him to my "favorite seller" list for future chuckles.

    I think that's what they are. I wonder if that mod is UL approved?

    If you did touch the ends of those things when they are powered up..... there is a good chance it could kill you because it would allow the current to flow through your body alot faster than just touching an outlet with wet hands.

    I am sure he would argue that the amp sounds "airy." DIY at its best!
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Tour,

    Maybe you can order it in your choice of colors: silver, black and camo.

    It's got high Evisceration potential.

    Still laughing at this disemboweled commando geriatric amp. . . I can hear ER in the background. . . "Doctor we're in flatline. .. . . . .250 joules" . . . "CLEAR.!!!!!. . . . ZZZZZzzzt. .. .nothing" :eek:
