Need info on Orion Special Edition Charles Wieland

Does any one have any info on these Orion Special Edition Charles Wieland amps?

Here are some photos it is purple and black custom painted by Charles Wielan. There is no model name/number or anything on it so I have no idea what this is or does as far as power. I can get gut photos as well, maybe this would be good to submit to ampguts if I can figure out some info on it. I only found them posted on DIY in some random post showing off OS amps.

Thinking about selling it and it seems very very rare so not sure what to ask for it, not a scratch on it, no lables or anything on the bottom. Since a lot of Old school orions were way under rated want to make sure I get it right.

i may be wrong but that amp doesn't look like anything orion made. the sinks and terminals on older orion's amps were completly different.

Those amps were custom made back in the early 1990's. The internals/board were made by Orion and the Heat sinks were made by Charles Wieland. These were custom made amps for certain dealers. I had about 10 of them and Sold them all on Ebay. The ones you saw were at one time all mines. Very impressive amplifiers as well.

Charles Wieland is a recognized Aerospace heat sink Engineer. Builds most Heatsinks that go one most airplanes. I don't know exactly why they chose him to make these Heatsinks. They do look nice. They have a metallic black and purple color, identical to the Orion NT amps.

These were never mass produced.
