I'd like one of these. Technics 20A valve amplifier.

1966! Thought it would be late 70s early '80s from the look of it. I mean when you think of what 1960s UK/US valve amps looked like.

I bet they are pretty hard to find.

that silver fascia lets it down looks wise. should have been more robust looking

OTL circuitry used; fraught with danger if things go wrong! Interesting they quote performance into a 32Ohm load. Otherwise, a bit ahead of its time in 1966.

It's quoted as 30W into 8 ohms, here is the circuit for those that are interested:

It definitely looks better in the black finish but hard to pick up at 23KG! Nice to think companies like technics built these beautiful things. i wonder what it sounded like?

[Firebottle]

Very clear I would think given the OTL circuit.
