@bdp24 that old BEL amplifier is an excellent amp. It produces a slightly warm overall musical sound with pretty good details, high and low end extension. We compared it to a few modern day amps and it was the winner for producing overall musical pleasure. I think it has 2 or 4 larger PS capacitors. It was a very simple design that worked so well.
For those of you who say run away, you need to rethink this. PS capacitors like Nichicon SuperThrou's probably run around $50 each so replacing four of them is not expensive. We have a bunch of different 15-20 year old amps in for repair now. Most have simple issues and customers just want to upgrade the caps, etc. Once upgraded, current models you may be familiar with usually cannot compete.
My old Lafayette KT-550 tube amp in stock form still kicks the crap out of many current models and sometimes pretty significantly!
Upgraded older Counterpoint amplifiers also kick butt once upgraded (full/complete upgrade/modifications almost complete rebuilds with point to pint wiring ($2k-$3K).
You won't find many if at all new amplifiers with point-to-point wiring!
So for a $3K investment you get a fantastic upgraded product that kicks butt! Great parts, great sound.
Happy Listening.
