Performance: Speakers Not Included With Sale, but are available separately. 
The Unit is in perfect working order. All caps were pulled, checked, couple replaced out of caution, but surprisingly the original caps used in this were all premium, not China junk.
I did replace the output transistors with correct, matching parts TDA2030A. Despite only using a single transistor for its output stage, the sound and ability to drive speakers with quality sound, is remarkable. Google the TDA2030A, you'll see the marvel in these transistors. I will say, because it is a single output transistor (each side, two total) there is not a margin for error, make sure your speakers are hooked up correctly before powering on, and power off when disconnecting or connecting devices. They will blow if not done with care, but they are simple to replace and I will provide an extra set. If hooked up properly and left stationary, the amp will provide an abundance of musical delight . If your like me and always swapping Speakers and components , The top section and extra transistors are for you (:
Pair of 12AU7 tubes included , tested and working .
All functions of the amplifier are fully functional , tested, and thoroughly enjoyable .
Unit Does boast two pre-amp out rca jacks so you can run this as a tube preamp, although the unit itself does not contain Tone controls , only volume. If running as a preamp, you can loop your favorite EQ and set the tone, if wanting to use this as is, but include an EQ, I use an RCA input switch box and loop my EQ in through that, using the switch box to change inputs.
There is not a phono preamp built in, so if wanting to run phono you will need an external phono preamp, unless running a newer turntable with built in preamp. This is a good problem , as if using the RCA switch box EQ loop solution , this will allow you to put the turntable in the loop with the EQ as well.
If you do not have a turntable preamp, I have a couple and happy to sell you one at discount with purchase .
All the talk on the EQ, I think adding an EQ definitely raises the bar on the sound of the unit , but the nature sound from this unit, as is, without an EQ is very sweet. As stated earlier , I am always adding and swapping components and speakers to experience audio in every way I can think before letting it go on here for sale.
Lastly , this is also a great unit to plug in a portable Bluetooth receiver if you like to stream MP3 from your phone, computer , etc. If that's you, I can help you add that piece as well. It is a very affordable add-on, around $20.
I can also help if your needing speakers or recommendations. I would recommend keeping the speakers 8ohms, but currently running a set of Infinity CS-3007 towers with beautiful results and heat sinks still cool to the touch. Again , very amazing amplifier with a very sweet look and small footprint being on 9.5" wide 11.5" long and 7" tall from floor to top of power transformer .
Please let me know if you have any questions .
 
Cosmetics:
The Unit Is in very clean condition And includes the original box. 
There are a couple of small nicks in the heat sink (Near the output transistor mount screws 🤦‍♂️, but they are very minor and tucked away on the side of the unit. Nothing that sticks out, but just wanted to disclose.
