Q & A / Re: New member, questions/ID on a Sunn 200S

The black paint is not stock but it doesn't hurt anything. You would probably hurt the chassis more to try to take it off unless it came right off with acetone or something like that. Any lettering is likely painted over already.
The transformer leaning slightly just means it was probably shipped somewhere and people weren't careful. As long as all the wiring is attached and nothing is cut or frayed then it is fine.
The grille cloth indicates that this is an early 200S, probably from around 1967-1968. I used to have one of these early ones and they are a little less power than the later ones, but sound better IMHO. It probably has Dynaco tranformers rather than the later Schumacher or Western transformers.
Nice amp!
