First generation Zapco amp made with the original Linear Power aluminum extrusion heatsink. I had one for 11 years before it died. They were either red or black and they used pretty standard power blocks. The dead giveaway is the gain knobs. Those were used by RF, Zapco, Orion and the old Sherwood amps.
Love it!
Love it!

The mystery amp terminal blocks look the same as the Z220's, introduced in 1987.
I wasn't aware of any single chassis Zapco's prior to the M80, do you have any more information?
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

The S80 and M80 were the early Zapco self contained amps. None before that. Z220 was the 2nd series self contained amp. After that came the Z50,z100, ect...Or so that is what I know. Unless it was a prototype or one-off. As many one-off's, prototypes, and promotional units I have come across in the past few years, never say never... Also, I have never heard of LP and Zapco using the same heatsink on anything. Will double check, but I don't think so. Could this be a Z220? Not sure. Most of my Zapco amps are pre-Z220. That is one Zapco that I don't collect. But do have some pics of them somewhere. If I can find them, I will compare the terminal blocks.

Not a Z220, I have some of those. Their power terminal looks similar to the mystery amp, but the speaker terminal is the same as previous models.
Cosmetically, Z220's look like a big AXi:
