Vintage amplifiers

Between 2011 and 2017 the original magazine reposted amplifier listings it found interesting: a Bogen Challenger pulled out of a school, a pair of professional Altec amplifiers shipped from Japan, a Marantz Model 8 with its cage, a kit-built EICO that somebody's father never finished. Each post kept the seller's photographs and description, which is why the archive reads like a bench diary written by dozens of different owners.

This index lists every amplifier, preamplifier and crossover we could recover, grouped by maker. The sale details are gone: no prices, no shipping terms, no auction links. What remains is the equipment, the photographs and what the people who owned it had to say. Models marked with a red pilot lamp carry a note added in 2026 with dates, specifications and sources.
