608 High Fidelity Stereo Amplifier... What a beauty

Does anyone happen to have a lead on **** ? I have the ability to build one, but would prefer to acquire an original. I'd also appreciate *** or a set of **** (which I doubt exist).

Beautiful - really.  all the edges on the wood are sharp and crisp, uniform color, dials all in good condition as is the front. It most be as close to fresh from factory as it is possible to get.  Is it original or has it been restored?

Is there a slight dent / bruise to the bottom left leg? 

If anyone is interested in a quick way to make a precision steamer for getting dents out of finished wood.

Get a filament type E27 screw in light bulb (harder with bayonet type), With snips cut of the contact at the end and then with pliers remove the stem and filament.  Put a little drop of water in and use a gas cooker style gas lighter to heat the water.  You can hold the bulb indefinitely by the metal screw and the jet is very controllable in size and direction.  If you need a smaller jet tape a washer over the hole.  You will usually not need much steam and there is a delayed reaction between steaming and the wood swelling.  Lots of small goes are better than one heavy one.

OBVIOUSLY - it may damage the finish depending on the type of finish.  But finishes are usually easy to fix compared with dents.

Save this link in case your ever visited by the police as you will look like a crack head LOL, 

 

You can also pop spirit in and a wick and use it as a spirit lamp - also good for getting out dents as it is a "Wet Heat" and a soft one.

As a gold member, may I ask this question?
