Can anyone ID this amp? (there's no prize)

Hi

I've just been given this Crimson Electrik amp (see attached pics) but don't know if its any good, its age or even its output.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Still using the above - 1970 something CE1704 modules inside but you need to take the lid off to see which modules are fitted. These were a kit amp which cost very little but still sounds great. Marantz 6003cd, passive preamp crimson power amp and B&W 695 speakers.

Thanks kx2

Here are some images of the components inside. Do you know anything about it? Output?

Many Thanks

The similar looking 2N3773 endowed CK1100 kit power amp was 100w per channel 8 ohm, 140w 4 ohm. The CK1100 had 4 smoothing caps and 2 chunky metal bridges to feed each module separately with +-50v but using the one mains transformer that looks much the same size as yours (the CK1100 transformer is 6" diameter). Your amp has 2N3055's so all in all, power may be a bit less. I seem to remember Crimson had a few 80w amps so this may be one of them.

That's pretty neat.

about 40 watts rms into 8 ohm very low distortion midband about 0.01%
uses output triples a very nice amplifier
As made possibly in my home town of "stoke on trent"
