nakamichi pa5 or 7


Can anybody help with the dimensions of these amplifiers?
I am strongly advised to buy one of the mk2-versions if I can find one, but size matters a bit.
What kind of problems should I expect with a 20 years old amp - I am a little worried about the heat.
Thanks!

Last year i took in on trade a system containing 5 pa5 amps.

I tested and sold them all fairly quickly. One of them came back with an intermittent channel issue wich ended up being a cold solder joint possibly opened in the shipping process. I fixed it and have been using it to drive a pair of BW nautilus 804 quite happily. It runs slightly warm to the touch but shows no signs of stress. Im very hapy with it.

Its a series one and does in fact have heatsinks so im a bit confused regarding and earlier post. Ive seen some that have handles and thought that was the identifier btween series one and two.
