It's a Mk.I/'TP16'/'60'Originally Posted by Alex_UK
Given that a TD160 would go for £80 odd on it's own, someone got a bargain. On the bright side, I don't have to explain 3 more boxes coming into the house!

Alex states 1977, it might be more like 1976 as it's a Mk.I

Yes, you're right, got confused with some Technics kit I was also looking at - the JVC was 1976-78.Alex states 1977, it might be more like 1976 as it's a Mk.I

A friend of mine back in 1975 or so had one to drive his IMF Professional Monitors. It was a muscular receiver, very brutish.

You're not helping either, Martin!
Having looked at a few more pictures on the web I'm now wishing I had won the bloomin' thing - blue meters, as well!

Ooooo, I saw your picture Alex and was thinking (drooling actually) 'nice blue level meters' - then I read your comments....
Blue meters, don't they just draw you in
Some people have no idea what they're doing and a lot of them are really good at it.
