Change in direction once more, and now selling my Restek Challenger.
Lovely amp, plenty of power on tap and really gets to grips with the speakers. Drove my Maggies with no problem.
130w/8Ohms and 200w/4Ohms
Can be used as a Pre amp (Pre Out) and Power Amp (Main In)
8 Line inputs (no Phono Stage) and 1 Tape loop
It has screw type binding posts, but they are pretty big so can accept bare wire and banana plugs.
Its quite heavy at around 16kg.
Runs very cool, even at higher output levels.
Condition wise is OK, few small dings here and there and some chip marks on the side of the face plate and heatsink. The very top left of the glass 'screen' is cracked/chipped but its not too bad.
Looking for £295
I dont have the original box but I do have a suitable box for it. I can courier it for £300 in total.
Collection from Faringdon, Swindon area.

Tired my best to make the marks show a bit better, not as obvious in real life:
