Hi, This is only my feeling, the 120 was not one of Dynacos better amps. I had one once and hated it. There are a slew of amps out there to chose from. I'd pass on this one.
The ST120 has a cult following. It is a unique circuit, best described as a preamp on steroids...output through a huge capacitor. It was, in some regards, superior to the later ST150 which was a conventional circuit configuration. I had one for years and years. Nothing ever went wrong with it, and I think I finally gave it away.
I owned the ST120 back in the day and thought it sounded quite good. In fact, I didn't think the Dyna ST-400 that I replaced it with sounded much better although it could play louder.
I also built one of Bob's ST-120 kits. It's the best kit I've every built. The directions are extremely well done, with great helpful pictures. With minimal soldering skills anyone can complete it easily. Best of all, the sound is great. Highly recommended.
