Speaking of Yammie's, one of the very few amps that I have owned was a A-1. I tell you what, that things was a monster even though it was not monster power. You could cook hotdogs with it to. I loved the Direct source option. It took several years but I managed to blow a channel and I just offed it. If I found another at a tagsale, I would snag it.
Probably 5 years ago which is when the A-1 lost a channel, I found a M-80 w/ the matching preamp, can't remember the model but they were in a damp basement. Preamp had no output when turned on. I took the cover off and it looked like a section was all fried shit. The amp powered on once, after that, the light would not even come on LMAO. $5 was worth a gamble. I put them all in with some other gear/parts units I had kicking around at Ingrim Auctions here in town. Table sold for $210 so I am sure that stuff was all resurrected. I should have put the amp in the dishwasher and tried it again (some folks say)
