Looks like it's pretty much a 200s with a single Sunn 15" speaker instead of 2-JBL D-140s.  I'd definitely give it a listen.  Supposed to be 60 watts.

If I were in the market, I'd grab that. Memories of my 1968 Sonaro combo.

That's a killer amp at about 1/3 of general retail value. It may need some TLC, but those amps are easy to work on. Don't walk, RUN to get it!

Agreed, well built and easy to service. Sunn amps sound really good, never heard this exact model though.
But I'd get this one if I could!

Then you'd all turn around and sell it due to not enough power (or there would be a converting to KT88s thread)  :P

Is that a 1x15?  If so it's nice and large; yummy.

looks clean....decent deal, although that is the lower end bass cab with the SUNN 15 and not the JBL d140.

That head is pretty much the same as a 200S head.  The cab is only like 11.5 inches deep, whereas the VERY desire able I-40 single 15 that is JBL loaded is like 14 inches deep and ported differently.

The head alone, if it doesn't need any work, is worth the asking price alone.
I've got a couple of them. Love old SUNN stuff, especially the 200S and 2000S.

Not every situation calls for more power, this amp will cover recordings, playing at home , and probably
smaller gigs and band rehearals (if it's not a loud rock band).

I couldn't agree more ;D. They used larger watts in the 200s model.
