Phil > Just saw one one Fleabay, I think a 150 watt mono unit. Maybe something like that. Yeah there are old 70's units still limping around....there probably would be older gear except for the cost of tube replacement....many business owners are just cheapass. And cost of tubes and a service call is probably the cost of replacing a 150 watt amp. I've still got a few 90's amps, I consider them dinosaurs... Of course, an older amp given a clean bill of health by a good tech can be trustworthy...but it's often easier to find new amps than competent techs. Many young guys didn't learn like you Phil. They are just parts replacers.

The oldest I could find on the QSC site was the A21. ...... Phil |
