[QUOTE="tomtomjr, post: 6064924, member: 610416"] The old-school is the way to go if you can find them. If you plan on running them, change the caps, re-paste the heatsink, and you are good to go. I prefer the old-school amps since I did repair on them in the 80's and 90's. So they are much easier to work on for me. Some old amps are much touchier than others. I have approx 800-900 (maybe more) old school amps in and my goal is to buy fleet of school buses and install them all. Or just hang them on the wall and look at them. (what I do with them now) . For a reliable old amp, get some RF amps (pre-HD) , PPI (black or art series) , Orion SX (gx is not reliable in the 1st gen) , US Amps (2nd or 3rd gen) , or maybe some LP's. There are a ton of older amps out there that you can run. Just have to make sure they don't have previous bad repairs, burned holes that were patched up, ect. Then repaste, inspect, and change the caps. Then you will have a good, old, really cool amp to run... [/QUOTE]
