[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1125647, member: 746"] In the late 1960s it was a Leak Stereo 30 transistor amp. One of the selling points was said to be “the lack of an output transformer”. At that stage I did not have the technical expertise to realise this was an advertising phrase. However, it did represent a distinct improvement on what had gone before, a Hamrad kit amplifier I recall that it cost R49,00. I think my salary then was R280 a month [IMG alt="Leak Stereo 30 Amplifier"]https://media.adverts.ie/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtZWRpYS5hZHNpbWcuY29tIiwia2V5IjoiMDVjYzgwNzM2MDVkMDcyZGE1NDI4ZmIxN2RhZGNkOGNiNDJkYWZmNWU5M2MwM2I0YmNkZDVkODA1MGU3NmY5OC5qcGciLCJvdXRwdXRGb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjozOTYsImhlaWdodCI6MjkyfX19?signature=4f4a23df9e145b453457b9c62876709c669f63912945d1b8e28732f2e7f9efcd[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
