Anyone know these well? Good, average or indifferent?

It is a very low powered amplifier that AFAIK is not held in high esteem
by audiophiles, for what that is worth.

There's no spec on it other than the usual mains supply which states 100
watts max - and by the size of the transformer I'd guessed it wasn't very
high power.

I've got one in for repair (intermittent on one channel)
and would like to know if it's worth much bother
repairing, as it's quite scruffy too.

I've just found this by Googling. ;-) Says it's a 'classic commercial
design' (on a basically class A site) so perhaps it is good within its
limitations. I've got a NAD 3020 mentioned on the same page and that's a
nice sounding little unit.


Looks like a nice little power amp for driving small speakers to modest
levels, headphones, etc.

I'll go ahead and fix it then. The fascia panel has been bashed at some
time and the fixings broken - such that the on/off switch no longer can be
operated, so it will need some mechanical sorting too. But I don't mind if
it's a half decent design.

Dave,
If you want a copy of the service manual, let me know & I'll email you a copy.
