Here's the pictures I promised. The 2000S pictured looks like it has been modified from the original 16/8 to an 8/4 configuration. The output transformer has cloth covered wires and it's a little hard to tell white from yellow. Also note on the Sceptre how the brown 4 ohm wire goes to an unused terminal on the terminal strip.

Those might be the newest looking 40 yr old amps I've ever seen. Just beautiful!

Those pictures turned out well because I used the flash. You can see the rust in the Sceptre photo on the bottom edge. I was wondering if I should try to sand the rust off or use Navel Jelly. The plating on those old chassis' didn't really protect very well and the transformers also tend to rust.
