Sunn A212 Combo

I just purchased a Sunn A212 combo off of ebay and cant find anything about it on any of the Sunn spots on the web. Does anyone own one of these or can you give me any information on it?

If you want to see an image, I believe this link will take you there:

I guess so. So what should I expect from this amp? I am leary about buying stuff like this off ebay but if it lives halfway up to what ive heard, it sounds like it could survive a nuclear blast. I am really curious about what kind of sound to expect. it does not look like sunn made them for very long...

those amps are great. its a workhorse.

with a little tweaking it can sound awesome. i own one as well.
the only complaint i ever had about it was that everything inside is soldered to PCBs and it makes it a little bit of a chore to work on.
but the sound you get in return is worth it.

i eventually removed the boards and handwired everything.
i have since installed KT88 tubes in lieu of the 6550s.

if you would like to hear what that amp sounds like when its tweaked and allowed to sing, check out some of my bands stuff. I used my A212 on all of my lead tracks, and the sound is just guitar into amp. no effects other than a wah were used.
