just received this today! another Lafayette....this one is a "LA-218 Monophonic Amplifier". i made an 18 watt marshall clone last year out of a very similar lafayette, and i plan on doing the same with this one. the previous owner has already modified it for phone jack in/output, but that appears to be the extent of it. sounds like crap as-is, with no headroom.
aside from some coupling caps, i shouldn't need to buy anything else...
i love these power transformers that have solder tabs instead of wires! why did they ever get away from that design?
