1970s Leak Stereo 30 Transistor Integrated Amplifier For Restoration
This is how the audiophile collector likes to find vintage HiFi such as this 1970s Leak Stereo 30 Transistor Integrated Amplifier For Restoration, as it is unmolested and unmodified.
We are selling this amplifier as a Restoration project only. This is not for immediate connection to a mains power supply. The lead will be marked with a "Failed' PAT test label and sent without a plug top fitted.
It is offered in 'restoration condition' as it has been in storage for many years without use and, therefore, has not been powered. Accordingly, the passive components will probably have aged with the resistors having 'gone high,' and the electrolytic capacitors probably showing leakage.
It was manufactured by Leak, UK, in 1971 (see image of the attached label on the mains lead).
The amplifier presents with pretty good cosmetics as either an unspoilt shelf queen or as a candidate for fitment of modern/boutique passive componentry.
It is rare to find one with such good cosmetics. Often the front panel loses it black finish, the outer casing has marred grey paint, and the rear panel is usually butchered with new holes/connector fitment. We are pleased to say that our example shows none of these faults and, except for a few surface scuffs and scratches, remains exactly in the condition it left Harold Leak's Bush works in 1971.
