So I go out to this guys place following a line on some possible gear. I was told he had a couple of things he wanted me to fix and I could just take the rest. It turned out to be pretty much a complete bust. The stuff that I could just take was total junk. The rest was either stuff he wanted to keep for himself or average stuff that he wanted stupid prices for.
This Acoustech was one of the ones he wanted to fix. I've never seen one before, or even heard of the brand.
The front panel is champagne gold, so the yellow look is not entirely due to my bad lighting. It's not just an amplifier it's an "Amplifying System". Nice chunky metal knobs, the orange plastic push buttons look out of place next to them.
It is constructed on edge cards in point to point wired backplane. It's a bit hard to see in the picture, but all the transistors (except the outputs) are in sockets. Cards and socketed transistors are something I expect to see in old test equipment, not an amplifier. All the transistors are RCA Germanium.
Well, this was one oddball that went back to where it came from. I lost interest in it myself when I saw the Germanium transistors.
Anyone else seen or owned one of these or any other Acoustech gear?
