2061 from '73

This has appeared on a local auction site. Looks pretty good to me. What do we all think?

Buy it ....crank it all the way up .....plug straight in and rock !!!! One of those with a matching 4x10 or 1x12 is on my wish list

It's a terrible amp. An absolute fire hazard and death trap. Tell me where the auction is so I can take the hit on it and save other people from dying because of it.

But seriously it looks unmolested to me. The black sealant is still on every connection on the component board. Looks like nothing has ever been done to it.

Looks to be in good condition. Only a 470k Iskra replaced with a cc on the board

Fabulous amp! Should have kept mine. Put it though anything you like and turn it up. And yes, it looks in good shape. You fix the speaker impedance on the output transformer, hard wired. looks to be on 8 ohms at the moment, but double check. Easy enough to change the impedance.

I have the Lead 20 with the 25 inch square 4 X 10. Highly recommend the LB 20.

Unfortunately, it didn't fly under the radar as I may have hoped...

Winning bid was NZ$3310

Yes was watching that myself, a good flurry at the end there with 'relic' the victor.........so it goes.
He's down in Invercargill...........will he make the trip for a pickup from Manukau or rely on a hopefully efficient/safe courier to deliver

I'd be more worried about reliable electricity down there...

Was a fun few minutes to watch. 'plexi' kept it interesting!

I have a ‘72 2061 on the way from the UK. I have a ‘73 PA20 that was modded to (I think) 2061 specs so I can’t wait to compare the two.

Possibly the greatest sounding cleans I’ve ever heard, in addition to the killer overdrive tones.

Would this happen to be the one that sold on Reverb a few days ago (seller in Newport)? Excellent score if so!
