    That's THE best specimen of an A5002 I have ever seen. Excellent deal on an amp that will drive anything. If I was in the market, this would be a done deal...

    Somebody grab this!

    I would love to have it, but I've got other priorities at the moment. It won't last long---trust me on that.

    with the understanding that a fellow member was not happy with a recent sale, i am posting more pictures so you the buyer know what you are reciving. as you can see, the adcom does have a box. the soundcraftsmen does not,but will be double boxed ( yes,i have the two boxs). both look good and work well. i would like to move these but i dont have to. they will make very good spares just in case one of my other amps crap out. for those that are interested, $350 for the 5500 delivered in the u.s.a to your door. canadain buyers wil have to split the cost. the soundcraftsmen is $325 to you door in the u.s.a.. canadain buyers will have to split the cost. ive only sold a few items here,but all buyers were very happy with the sales. thanks again, tom t

    Guys and gals if your system suffers from "digititus" or glare, the Soundcraftsmen is the amp for you. This amp can handle 2 ohm loads without breaking a sweat. 250 watts/rms conservatively rated with tons of headroom.

    at $350 and it's very good condition, this is a no-brainer.

    There you go, build you a vintage rig around the A5002. That would be awesome.

    Hi Steve!
    No I just located this forum today! I did send him an email however and I guess all I can hope for at this point is that he will receive it and has yet to sell the amp! I would like to purchase the his A5002 amp to add to the A5002 that I also have at this time as I know how great it will perform! Thanks for responding to my email and if anything comes up, please give me a shout!

    Well steveinaz I missed out! tom t got a hold of me and did verify that the A5002 has been sold some time ago! Better luck next time, but not a total loss as it's always great to meet new people that are willing to help someone out! I truly appreciate all your help! If there's any word on another Soundcraftsmen A5002 in great condition floating around looking for a new owner to take excellent care of, shoot me an email!!!
    Everyone keep the sound alive!!!:cool:
