Hello, Anyone have any experience of very cheap, S/H German entry-level or just above amplifiers from, say, the 70s and 80s? The kind of thing you can pick up on Ebay for £30, and if anything goes wrong there are no integrated circuits but just plain old transistors and resistors? I need an amp in […]
