Looks as good as new Gavin...certainly up to my standard!
Why oh why cant the chinese build to this standard? this thing is 30+ years old,and looks amazing,and still works,yet it was only a cheap budget amp when new...chinese manufacturers take note!!!...dont build rubbish,build quality.
------------- Be seeing you.

Exactly, this was the budget range - go figure!
From days when one or two mens passion for audio could make a difference.

...although it doesnae sound like it, massive caps and powersupplies(x2) mean clean, punchy sound - suit 2x10" etc. Sounds more powerful than alot of bigger amps.

I ran my first "proper" disco rig using a pair of these in 1979,both amps running into 4 ohms,was much louder than the 4x 240w would suggest.
The two amps in the middle,underneath a Pulsar modulator.

MM Electronics in the seventies was what Behringer is to todays Pro Audio scene---Good value and performance per £.

Around ’79 I used to run 4 x 4560’s loaded with JBL K140’s, 4 x 2x12 Celestion loaded mids and a pair of RCF TW101 horns on metal flares with 6 piezo’s above each.
All driven from 3 MM AP360’s and an MM 3 way crossover and graphic (mostly brought from Robbo’s Wolverhampton shop)
Quite a loud system at the time, I would love to hear it again and see how it compares with current systems.

I've got a pulsar modulator on a shelf just like that one only ever used it to make a music responsive traffic light...

Perhaps we could remember at this time, Dave Collins who is no longer with us, who was the instigator of MM. P.A.C.E. Redmere, C Audio, Monitec and Austin Armstrong. He did a lot of stuff.

got three, still use them and still love them - although not on the road any more, they power home systems. one is driving my quad esl57s actually, i'm sure that's some kind of sacrilege on the quad's part.
