Both look almost new. A friend spotted them in my garage one day and asked if they just came out of the box. The FM-5 had a bad power switch that is built into the volume control (FM-5 also works as a preamp) I bypassed the power switch section of the knob and use the switched power from the SCA-80Q to power on and off. The volume still works perfectly. The SCA-80Q really has some power to it. A beast of an amp IMO. I'm looking to sell both as a set but will seperate if needed and both have interest.

$225 shipped OBO. Please PM with offers. Pics if needed on request.

    nice little history and picture of the sca-80q can be found here...

    (note last line for difference vs sca-80)

    and the fm-5 here...

    note that the two units do match (look the same), but the one pictured here is in the optional wood enclosure.

    Damn. Those are nice. I wish i could justify buying them. I don't anticipate them sticking around long, though. :)

    These would be a NICE pairing with some Monitor 5/7s.

    I had them pushing some Pioneer 77's in my garage. Plenty of power from what is supposed to be only 40wpc. That SC-80Q is built like a tank and has some beer can caps inside that deliver some real power. I never went past 10 O'clock on the volume and could hear the music well across my backyard.

    That SCA-80Q with DynaQuad circuit is a cool item. Why they didn't include a separate volume control for the rear speakers escapes me. You drive four Dynaco A-25's or a pair of A-25's with a pair of A-10's in the rear with that amp and you're in for some fun. Great memories and great sound.

    You're unlikely to get a response. The thread is almost 2 years old and 187cam doesn't post anymore. Stranger things have happened though, so good luck, they definitely look nice.
