I purchased this pair from the repair tech at Lavish Audio in Santa Rosa, CA. last week. Prior to my purchase he bench tested them and were found to be in excellent operating condition. I asked about the storage capacitors. He said they are in great shape.  I hooked them up to my system today and they sound fantastic, the sound improving over the first couple of hours. I have them hooked up to a Levinson 39S, Cary SLP-05 and EgglestonWorks Andra II. They run super quiet and without any glitches. They put out 100 watts of pure class A power. They can, of course, be converted to stereo mode and thus you will have 4 channels to play with. I am rating the cosmetics a 7 overall. I would rate the chassis a solid 8. There are no discoloration, pitting or flaking. Both face plates have the typical small dents and scrapes on the top edges (Mostly on the back of the top edges), more on one and not so much on the other so I will rate the faceplates collectively a 7 as they are not pristine but at the same time I cannot see the blemishes from  a few feet away, either. I think they are more than acceptable overall given its age. All the heat sinks are straight and clean except for a small ding or two here and there.. .  The silver plating on the brass binding posts and bridging bar have tarnished a bit. They can be polished up much like silverware. I will leave that to the new owner. The gold handles are in fantastic shape. The winged brass speakers lugs are new. Reason for selling is I already have 4 pairs of monos rotating in my system. Also they draw 500 watts each, too much for my PS Audio P10 to accommodate and I don't want to do without the P10. Right now I have them hooked up to a pair of Transparent Powerlink XL plugged into the wall. They are an immediate improvement over the stock black cords. I also have a pair of Virtual Dynamics Master II I would like to try before kissing them goodbye.  I can assure you these amps are 100% functional and sounds fantastic but because they are vintage power amps they are a non refundable purchase. They are operating perfectly right now making music in my room. Shipping is a flat $200 to anywhere in the USA.
