Well, that's a result. Went into my local electrical goods and repair shop, was chatting about a new microwave, as mine's on the blink, and happened to mention I was looking to pick up a used amp for the workshop; just something small and boogie-boxy, to plug a wifi extender into and listen to music streams. "Hold on", he said and popped into the back room, coming back out with a couple of items. "Have these, they're a bit scabby but work fine and they were a kind of trade-in that I can find no use for."
Fuck's sake - only a matched pair of Toshiba SY and SC 330 pre-amp and amp. 1978 vintage and working perfectly. My initial thought was really, these are too good to be slung into the workshop, but thinking about it, they're absolutely perfect - big sound and good quality, too. Unlike most horrible workshop trannies or so-called music systems, I can be boogying away while spannering and entertain the neighbours. I shall build them into a cabinet of sorts to keep the damp away from them, as that's what kills stuff in there.
