I was at the flea market yesterday and came across this amp. The model number was SA-4130 or GA-4130. Is this any good?

I don't have any pics right and the flea market is only open on the weekends. I've been searching google for a long time now and I can't find any info!

If it is solid state I wouldn't spend more than a couple bucks on it, but if it was a 'tube setup, that would be different depending on what it is.

Don't be so sure, I've known people to find hellaciously good deals because the owners just don't know what they have //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Probably won't be in the greatest of cosmetic shape usually...but I've picked up one amplifier's worth of tubes that might sell for $50, for 5 bucks simply because the owner wanted to get rid of the big hulking thing in his attic. Even if I throw the rest of it away, the tubes alone make it worthwhile.

I don't know about Eico's solid state stuff, but their tube gear was some of the best of that era...their power amplifiers usually started with "HF"...HF-81, etc...usually with a brown chassis, exposed transformers on the top.

Vintage stuff, mainly tubes.

From the 60's I think.

Theres several old Eico pieces on ebay.
