Vintage Accuphase P-102 Class A Power Amp Commissioning

Ever since I purchased my Accuphase C-202 Preamp in 2021, I have been looking for a matching P-102 Power Amp to go with it.
My preference was to buy one from a dealer that had been fully sorted.
After waiting three years I decided to take a huge risk and purchase one on Yahoo Auctions.

Great build quality and sounds good even through my computer speakers. Interior components and layout looks very similar to my Luxman L-100 integrated and M2000 amps.

Twin transformes... Mmmmm.... Thants very nice, great gear..!!! You din't mention how much it cost. Please don't forget to meka a video of the changing off voltage from 100v to 120v. (that would be amazing) Thank you.

bacause of the huge power consumption these amps are OFF lots of the time so could very well be its caps are still very OK. Accuphase has sublime build quality and sound. Just bought me a new E-280 myself, great amp even though it's the cheapest of the line up. Sure you are gonna love it, Class A does have some extra purity.

[@audionautica6843]

Yeah - I love the build quality. I am sure the main bulk caps will be fine - its usually just the smaller ones that can be more heat sensitive.
