looks like a decent amp..... get a closer pic of those power fets. looks like there is a story there, like either it has been repaired, or needs to be........then again, the pic is not great, and it could be nothing to fret. (btw, i'm talking about the transistors clamped/screwed to the case top-left in the pic)

Looks like a good ~1200 watt amp.

Agreed, The power supply transisitors look like they have been replaced or tampered with, the clamping brackets are out of line and the transistor leads are different lengths. Not how I would have done it.. I'm anal. could have just been shotty workmanship from the factory too (newguy or something). It looks like maybe only some of them where replaced, but not others. If one transistor blows then all of the other ones in the circuit should be replaced too due to the load that they may have been exposed to.
