     The MC-2100 (looks like a MC-240 tube amp) and the MC-2105 (black glass, gold lettering, blue meters) are workhorses that still sound good! 

    You might find 2100's for $500, 2105's for $700.  Still supported in Binghamton, Motorola output TR's in stock @ $10 ea.  Try one - you'll like it!

    I sold dozens of these in the mid '70's for home HiFi and nightclub music systems, a few to local bands for PA, never had a single failure!

    Front: Stacked Klipsch KG4's on top of Forte' II's, Titanium HF's. All in parallel: 2.7 ohm load.
    Power: Adcom GFA-555, dbx 3BX II, mild +/- 3 dB room EQ
    6 powered subs: Klipsch Sub-12 and Bag End InfraSub 18, dbx 120X sub-harmonic synthesizer
    Center: 2 KG2's, Rear: stacked KG4.2's + SS1's
    Test Gear: Behringer DEQ-2496 + ECM-8000 RTA & SPL meter

    I agree with the MC2105...they are awesome. I will not agree on the value of $700.00, I would not sell my MC2105 for under $1,000.00.
