Hi everyone,
I went up and down this thread and I'm a bit confused as in post #1 Formas did put a photo of an "exhumed" amp and you all identified as PA2300 by Earthquake, thereafter Perry shows a photo in post #13 stating it PA2300 but it is evidently different than the first one showing the second toroid on m.b. while the one posted by Perry it has not of course...
Are they different releases of same PA2300? Please anyone can clarify this?
As I have the 1990 Earthquake catalog have being famous for showing in the central pages the PA2300 reversed pics simulating a very big amp -what PA4300 would have been a couple years later- there, anyone could have seen 1 only toroid in the m.b. so, no doubt only Perry's pic truly is a PA...
Re. Hohmann name, in the same page in catalog you can see Earthquake Sound Co. heading, at the time located in S. Mateo, CA was a branch of / or likely owned by HERMANN HOHMANN International Co., and Factory at Lang Road, Burlingame so close to AUTOTEK plant in Cowan Road, sheer chance...!
Pls Abuzafi, can you explain what law-suit did happen... that time I was selling Earthquake and Autotek as representative in my region and I didn't realize any of such a cases... also I was asking myself who this Hermann Hohmann was as in 1993 I met Mr. A. Sahyoun owner and export sale manager of Earthquake and he said chief owner was his brother Joseph, company's chief engineer too...
As for my difficulty to shot good pics I avoid for now to post photo of the catalog (of that time I only keep PA2075 and PA2040, not big ones...) but if anyone want to watch, just ask to....
