I got this from a friend for my bday @ the wknd, this was to put paid to our quarelling as teenagers over which was better the snes or the megadrive (I was on the megadrive side of the arguement)
That looks tasty. I'm on the Sega side of things too but a SNES like this might be marginally better tasting ;-)
And you're right about Only Amiga making it possible...
After 5 years of looking.. I've found the amp of my (youth) dreams.. (su a 1000 su c 1000 preamp) (mask II)
A local repair hobby guy had it, because the lights were not working and the fan was not going on, so the amp jumped in protection mode.
He alse repaired the pre-amp wich operates on battery to have clearer sound, wich eventually dies as well.
This is bamboo cap technology I took the radio as well to match, and needed to take a less matching cd player, I have one reasonable matching, but wanted to make sure to have good quality for this new amp. (the matching 5 loader did sound like crap, since I have a 5 loader old system at home, I was uncertain about it.)

That's a great find! These amps really look (and sound!) great. I'm a Technics fan myself, got a couple of amps / receivers / tuners / cd players, nothing extraordinary though.
I've been looking for this amp / preamp, but they seem to be non-existent in my country, will probably settle for a A900 / C800 combo that seem to be selling somewhat frequently. After that I just need some quality tuner and the sound processor, then I'll consider my 'collection' reasonably complete
Maybe just one integrated MOSclassA amp more ... 
Enjoy!

Normally they are found in Belgium as "demonstration model" (all of them 
icard), so they wan't a lot for it. I found this at a repair guy who imports them from Germany. He can get more of them.I am a fan of technics myself, my stereo lasted over 15 years, and still have it in storage, I had a v570

Good amp, it had a very clean sound, but when played flat this new one is better. I can here the difference. Good luck in your search, mate and be carefull, alway's listen to it, and load it enough, for the fan problem...

Technics are indeed great and very robust. I had some gear too and it's a great start into Hi-Fi seperates. That big analog meter thing sure looks pretty. Is that a tuner or just showing the playback/recording levels?
It's the end-amp, the pre-amp is seperate. Shows watts for 8 ohm speakers.

Very nice indeed, didn't know Technics did these.
2nd Blizzard 1260 :-D
ACA620, Am I the first?
Guess so, I'm about to order one, but it will take a while I think.
Just got one of these:
OK, not the 7800; had that...
But I got (and finally installed) a composite MOD kit in it.
I took out the RF modulator (man, that was tricky) and the channel switch and put the jacks there.
(They are mounted in a piece of plastic that's not permanent, so I can fix the fact that the red jack is too high.. ;-) )
I'm not showing my work, as people here are really good and I have solder skill envy.. ;-)

p.s. The screen image is much better than the pic. My picture taking is on par with my soldering skills..

Thanks for the heads up. I've got a lot of reading up to do on it before it goes anywhere near the 4000. It was sold as non functional, so I've got to make sure that I have everything right to be able to eliminate basic configuration and OS issues.
First job for me is to clean it and inspect it. The CPU socket has been replaced at some point, and whilst it's not a bad job there are several potential dry joints. Cleaning it should give me a better view of the work that has been done.
It doesn't look like enough flux was used when the work was done and even the xtal doesn't seem particularly well soldered. It seems they err'd on the side of caution as there isn't any heat damage as far as I can tell (with my 40 odd year old eyes). A few scratches and exposed tracks but no substantial damage.
Thankfully I have the day off of work and nothing else planned particulary. I got all my immediate chores out of the way yesterday in the hope this would arrive today
