From the original site

A beautiful stack of Luxman. The C 120 pre amp, the M 120 power amp the T 450 tuner all \in good working order all all look great. There are caveats. Dial lamps are out in the tuner, tuner works well sounds great but the bulb s need replacing. Other thing is the black Luxman name and description plates you on the front lower right of the amp and pre amp. I had a trophy shop make the plates and I actually think it looks pretty good.

Stock it is not but looks good and better than the alternative. Otherwise, appearance and sound is all there, pots are great amp has ooomph and the whole system has depth and detail And the design is classic, looked good then and still looks great today.

About this model

A matching Luxman stack: the C-120 preamplifier, the M-120 power amplifier and the T-450 tuner. The seller noted burned-out dial lamps in the tuner and replacement name plates on the amplifier and preamplifier, made at a trophy shop. We have not found reliable dates or ratings for this series, so we do not quote them; the archive's separate M120A page gives the seller's ratings for that version of the power amplifier.

Questions collectors ask

Are the replacement plates a problem?

For a listener, no; for a collector, non-original parts lower the value. Ask what has been replaced.
