I've spoken to an owner of this amp. Apparently it is one of the best ever made and certainly the best Eico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Sure is the best EICO ever made but the best ever made? Sure wish I could find them in dumpsters LOL !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D0N Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I've done some diving in my day. I found a pioneer sx1280 in the dump. The only thing wrong with it was the glass was broken... I assume from when it was dropped or thrown into the dump. The thing worked perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painful Reality Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 My best "single" dumpster score was a Hicock 539C tube tester, 300 tubes including a quad of TungSol 6550, a GEC KT88 (that I still have that one, if anyone is interested let me know) plus a flurry of 12AX7, etc. There was also a superb laboratory grade Hewlett Packard regulated power supply. That was a big dumpster. Strangely it was the first dumpster I saw that had an alarm system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 "Strangely it was the first dumpster I saw that had an alarm system..." Now I'm starting to question whether it was a dumpster at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipschfoot Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Alarming a dumpster or even putting camera surveillance on it is a common theft prevention measure. Employee A takes out trash which happens to have important/expensive property buried in it. Same employee returns at night to dig out what he put there or works with a friend to dig it out. (CCTV can catch the scheme on DVR.) This Eico amp could even have been such an item! Or, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
