ELKA TRX-80 Italian all-tube 80W vintage guitar amplifier, a rarity from the late 60s, unused for nearly 40 years due to instrument change, in perfect original condition (2xEL34, ECC83 tubes), for sale below its deep retro rarity value by an electronics technician-collector, ex-musician. Classic Hammond spring reverb, tremolo, dual footswitch, 2 channels, 4 inputs! A heavy piece with a powerful sound! With its massive transformers, not a "we've cut corners on everything" product of today! Due to the horizontal placement and excellent ventilation of the 2x EL34 power tubes, their cooling is better, and their lifespan is much longer! (Compare it to a modern 100W amp, how much more punch it has!) Today, a new, only 10-15W all-tube guitar head costs 118-190,000 Ft!
Upon request, I will send the article by Béla Mezei (tube guru), guitar amplifier expert, from the October 13, 2011 issue of Zenészmagazin; "ELKA, a legend from the 60s", praising the amplifier and describing its capabilities! The price is indicative!
