Re: Teisco ampilifer.
****Checkmate 30 (solid state) super cool 60's Mod design coffee table amp!****
- approx 8 watts, 1-6 inch speaker, tremolo, two inputs, four knobs (volume, tone, speed, intensity), footswitch, uniquely built amplifier sits on three legs and is circular, the amp is in the bottom section and the speaker faces upward, brown woodgrain finish with chrome trim.
This amp was made in the mid 60's.The best thing about it is that it is round! It has 2 sections.It stands 14inches in diameter and 18 inches tall. It has a faux wood grained brown plastic finish. The amp is trimmed in chrome with three chrome legs and rubber feet that connect both section.The amp is set into the lower section. It features volume and tone plus a tremolo section that has speed and intensity knobs. There is also a jack for a foot switch. Two inputs. orange on-light. The 6 inch speaker is loaded into the top of the lower section and the 8 watts is focused at a white plastic cone that is on the top section. Walk around the amp in any position and feel the full intensity of the 6 inch speaker and the 8 watts working together!

I love it. I really dig it. But would not use it. I want it for looks. May not sound great but looks as cool as a sexy women.

The best part is it has a place for your beverage or ash tray on top.

Re: Teisco ampilifer.
That thing is SO cool looking. I wonder how it sounds, you know, since we are all used to speakers going towards our feet in a wooden and rectangular enclosure...

Re: Teisco ampilifer.
If you have two of these, and you turn one upside-down and place it on top of the other one, do you get total silence?

Maybe you get the amplifiers rocketing away from each other like some crazy Dragonball Z crap! Haha.

Re: Teisco ampilifer.
I would love one. Just for looks. But I would play it every once in a while. There is a YouTube video on one the ampilifers.

Only if they're out of phase, otherwise they're super duper narrow field stereo.saxjag wrote:If you have two of these, and you turn one upside-down and place it on top of the other one, do you get total silence?
