Nice collection John. I see you have an AMCO model PM2 with 20 inputs. I have one also and was wondering what and how to use it. The inside of the box is impressive but I was thinking of using some of the parts and junk it. The model PM2 uses the same speaker connector as my broken JBL speakers use and I could use the lamps, I think they are 12 volt. Inside the box is even an unused spare lamp.
Before it is parted out it would be nice to know that it is worthless first.
