    I would glad to post pics, but I do not have access to a digital camera. I borrowed one a couple of weeks ago to get some pics up at the time. If I can get access to one, I most certainly will.

    BTW, welcome to the forum, Mothra

    Thanks for the kind welcome Terrax. As you can see, I registered long ago, but then stopped coming to the site, as other hobbies took priority.

    Things change, so I've been lurking again for awhile. Your amp finally got me to post. Don't you feel special!

    Regards!

    Just so everyone understands, the price has been dropped to $250.00 on this, shipping included.

    Thats 200 w/c into 4ohms and 400 watts bridged. Would make one helluva passive sub amp. Or, as I once ran it, a killer center channel amp.

    Thanks for the interest. Someone has indicated they would like to get the amp, but won't know until this weekend. If they do not want it, It will still be up for grabs.

    Thanks,
    Terry
