        Just picked up this Vintage 47 Suitcase Amp. 8w through an 8 inch speaker. Boost switch and bias switches give a surprising array of tones. Perfect for old blues and swing sounds that I’m after.

        Found it used and lightly played on FB marketplace, half off what a new one would be!

          Congrats on your NAD. That’s a really cool amplifier Bill! Lots of history behind that maker. Guess we’ll hear it soon.

                  If it sounds as good as it looks you got a winner there , love that retro look and simplicity of the controls .
                  Congrats on your bargain find .
