Classic Sony SS Preamp

[capecodder]

This is what I have as my primary pre-amp. These are very over-built and was Sony's attempt to move into the audiophile market in late 60's. This ebay auction has it listed under tube gear but it is not, it's SS. Anyway thought you vintage guys might be interested. No clue as to this one's condition obviously and seller probably also has no clue either. Might be able to snag a real nice pre although someone already has opening bid in.

I've sold a half dozen of them over the past 2 years or so. They usually bring between $350-$450 depending on condition, guarantees, etc....
