Granted it's not up to modern safety standards but the people who buy these amps generally know what they are doing.

Spilling your pint of beer on any amp can be dangerous too. ;)

Yep, you spill Mark's beer you'll be in trouble, I can guarantee it! ;)

Stuff spilling it :eek: I'd be more worried about the effects of it.. Lack of coordination etc & possible shocks..

:lolsign: We do tend to have to suffer to enjoy things at the end of the day :) One way or another :scratch:

Frequency response of 5-120 hrz , and looks amazing and would go very nicely in my SL-QL1.

Sound Sales made excellent amps. Looks to have choke/capacitor smoothing on the HT which is lacking in later Leak amps. The transformers all look to be a good size too.

Coo-err!
That's lovely stuff. I was hoping it might have been one of the tri-amp designs (don't know the model designation) which had 3 output stages - EL84's for the treble, EL34's for the mid & KT88's (I think) for the bass. That's an amp I'd love to mess about with for a while!

You mean the Tri Channel amp. I had a Mk 5 version plus control unit in the 90's, never could find another so I sold it. :doh: Valve line up was LN 309, EL84 & EL34.

The guy I bought it from had burnt the matching speaker out in his garden some years earlier. Apparently it was riddled with woodworm. He didn't even take the drivers out. :doh::doh:
