Single (1) Audio Research Model M-100 Vacuum Tube Monoblock Mono Power Amplifier

Another item from Ricky Young, Quality Artifacts, Springfield, Vermont. Single (1) Audio Research Model M-100 Vacuum Tube Monoblock Mono Power Amplifier. This Audio Research amplifier has just been serviced and is in working condition, however, t. He technician noted that when the amplifier is driven to clipping level, it is supposed to perform a soft clip and go into protection mode, but instead the amplifier clips and the sound distorts. The more efficient the speaker that is used, the less likely one is to encounter this issue.

It could have been fixed by the technician, but I decided to end the service there, because to me, the amplifier is virtually working as it is. Cosmetically, the unit is in great condition with only minor signs of previous use as shown (see pictures).

Included is a collection of literature/paperwork. Amplifier Type: Monaural Tube Power Amplifier. Power Output: 100 watts continuous minimum at 16 ohms, from 20Hz to 20kHz with less than 1%. Total harmonic distortion typically below.
