I saw a post from Steve Dunlap from 2011. He stated he had several pairs of NEC 2SB600/2SD55 transistors. I realize this is stretch but if if Steve sees this or any one else can get this message to him I would be interested in purchasing these transistors if by any chance he still has any.
Naim 42/110 owned from new from late 70s. Also have Quad II/22 which is currently retired while I decide if I want to go to the expense of a repair/refurbish. I'd love to do it myself, but "you have to know your limitations".
RSK, I looked for a long time for a 1000, they are rare. Have you had any work done to your 1000?
Now using a Leak Stereo 20 circa 1964 , the gun metal one while I rebuild my valve/mofo hybrid. I paid a fair bit for it as they are getting popular now but its
in good condition with only sensible component changes. I once had several of them but almost had to give them away. It gives nice relaxing sort of sound so
I'm not in a hurry to finish the rebuild

A Musical Fidelity X-A1.
A whippersnapper by the standards of many here!
It gets occasional use as a test amp.
I still think it sounds quite good and is plenty loud enough to fill the village hall for the occasional kids party/disco.
I really should build some decent passive speakers to see how good it really sounds!

Hi,
if also a radio counts, I'd name my Graetz Comedia from 1956 whith its 4.8W EL41 tubed amp.
Actually I'm doing a overhaul after what seems to have been the first major breakdown in it's entire life time (a lytic went short).
Not a single issue over the last 40years when I inherited it from my Grandma.

@stocktrader200 My Pioneer SX838 is still on the operating table for the second time. The preamp stage had been replaced but in my design of a PCB, the the tone controls were backwards ofthe original design. The output stage now uses lateral mosfet instead of BJT.
As I have mentiond previously, I bought this rig at Harvey Radio in NYC and carried it home on the subway to Brooklyn Hts. It survived #1 son using it for his DJ gigs. The receiver in these old Pioneer receivers were phenomenal!

I've recently restored a Rotel RA-1412 and it quickly became my daily amp. I put many hours of work into it and perhaps went over the top in the restoration but it's a great sounding and great looking piece. Worth every minute.
Before this it was a Marantz PM4, another restoration project from a few years ago, I still have it and use it occasionally. Lovely sounding amp

Pioneer A-77X. Purchased in '85. It's been repaired once but has been an awesome amp for all of these years. I just bought the same model off of e-bay as a spare but aside from being tested and possible repaired, it needs a new line voltage switch AKX-507 which appears to be unobtainium here in the States.
I've located the part in England, but they don't ship to the U.S. 🙁

I picked up one of these off the verge a few years ago but unfortunately the output transistors were toast (and some had been replaced with rubbish). I built a Greg Ball Ska GB150D into the chassis. I still use the AH280 preamp picked up at the same time in one of my systems, much modified.
How do you rate the AH380?
