Same here sir Sandawa, i'm also into vintage solidstate collecting,
whenever i chance upon a vintage looking amp, i'll immediately
get its model no. and surf the internet for its worthiness, e.g.
good review, price, etc. I'm not into new production amps, cause
good sounding one's is way to expensive compared to vintage heavyweights.
What i can say is, i'm truly enjoying the thrill of hunting these audio gears, much
more when i got home with it and finally taste (hear) the fruit of my labor
More often than not, it brings smile and happiness especially if it blends well
with the existing gears.
To this day, nothing came my way which dissapoints me of my vintage audio
journey. Knock on wooden side panels of TOTL AU's
I hope you find that AU..... that you're looking for very soon!
I wish also that someday, i'll be able to have the opportunity of owning even
one of the AU that you have for i have only one which is AU-607f extra
