Old School Amplifiers.....
Other than Ebay, where is a good place to find "old school" amplifiers?
I am mainly interested in the Orion 2100 HCCA , 250 HCCA and the 225 HCCA series of amps.
I had the 2100 HCCA back in 94' and I regret selling it.
If anybody has any leads to one please let me know.

The most power hungry amps on the planet.
Anything made by Zed Audio from the 80's is top grade.

Forgot Autotek
Way, way ,waaaay back Autotek made a little blue amp that would tear your head off and was about 6 inches wide and 8 or 9 inches tall.
Carver/Blade was another good one.

As a second thought, this is probably the most famous amp model ever, even above the art.

Since no one has named the amp I pictured it is RODEK.
