Dynaco Stereo 400

[J!m]

Apparently has distortion in the left channel. Seller thinks it needs a re-cap.

Is it worth the asking price of $1?

 

[laatsch55]

Yep...

 

[Gepetto]

Why ask a dollar??

 

[J!m]

Dunno. I haven't contacted the seller yet.

It looks like it's just up the road from my house. I wanted to make sure it was worth the $0.38 in gas to get there to collect it before I called on it.

Is that an opening bid or “buy it now?” Recycling the metal alone might get you $1.25!

 

[Lazarus Short]

Buy it and don't look back.

(Guy on the TV from Robocop) “I’d buy that for a dollar!”

It might burn the house down if you plug it in though…….

 

[J!m]

I guess I'll email the guy and find out the story...

I thought that was only Phase Linear products that did that?

Stereo 400, 416, and 410 (updatemydynaco.com)

I heard from the seller. He fired it up slowly on a rheostat and it worked fine the first time; distortion the second time.

He asked for my phone number to follow up. I guess I’ll get it tomorrow.

Back in the late 80's and early 90's I tested about 500 driver boards for this amp and it's siblings the 410 and 416. I didn't necessarily like the totem pole output section but it met spec and was reliable. If i didn't have a 200 W/C amp I wouldn't hesitate to jump on this one. It uses all commonly available parts in the signal path and will likely need coupling capacitors etc. I have all of the documents if they aren't available elsewhere.

 

[J!m]

Well, assuming I get the thing, it’ll need a full rebuild it sounds like.

I may be calling on you for documents and help!

 

[J!m]

Since I’ll be collecting it at dinner time, it will be left on the front steps for me to collect tonight.

Price reduced from $1 to free.

I will draft a thank you note to leave when I collect it.

 

[MarkWComer]

Price reduced from $1 to free.

So you’re gonna rob the guy? For shame…

 

[J!m]

I was willing to pay his full asking price, no haggling.

He made the decision.

I'm no thief!
