Hi guys! I recently acquired a vintage SR1025 solid state amp. However, when I tried to search for more information about the schematic, button functions, etc, I couldn't find any online. Anyone here has any information regarding this rare vintage amp? Thanks!

Think the vintage PLUS solid state amp is a clue to the rarity. Be nice to have a schemo... to find out the devices of that unit, before buying. Also, check availability of replacement cap cans.

These were the "wave of the future" as foretold by CBS/FMI in 1967.

Funny how things don't alway work out like some visionaries hope......

I thought the same thing in the '70s. I remember predicting that SS would replace tubes very soon. :oops: :lol: Glad that I didn't bet on it!

After darn near killing myself working on a dorm mate's original Blackface Twin Reverb in college, I swore I would never touch anything that ran on higher than 12 volts. How things change. :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: Yuck! :lol:

No, I had a Galaxie 500 convertible, then a 68 Camaro. It was all downhill after that, starting with my '57 dodge. 8)
