Some saw pics of it before, im sure, but i'm just gonna start a new thread for the schematic tracing and repair of this amp. Picked up in Japan by FM sleepkid and puchased by FM yard barf, i'm the middleman in charge of getting the thing up and running. Havent pulled the chassis out yet, but for now here's some exterior shots.

That amp is soo fucking super cool!

That's a lotta iron.

Whoa, never seen a shielding cage around a transformer like that before!

My OR120 has the inputs covered by a shielded cage instead of the transformer (also has a laydown transformer close to them).
