hello, I need some input on an amp

Post by JamesC »

I have a Gray Solid State 200 watt amp that was inherited from my grandfather. I left in my closet until now. I just finished dusting out the interior. but I like some information on what it's worth because I have no clue. can someone help me understand the value of this amp.I know it's a very sought after had so many offers on it, and I don't want to screw myself over and I know my grandfather would turn over in his grave if I did so. This was his proud and joy. I am trying to attach the file but i can't find where to attach it so i made
Thanks James

Looks like it's got two MRF455. This are about 60 watts EA. It looks really old though. Really good amps can go for $1 per watt. I'd say it's worth $70-90?

I believe it is a base amp looking at that pic, super large wire wind transformer. Even with that is is quite old but don’t shortcut yourself on offers.

3’s.
