1980 Sano 160R hand wired tube amplifier made in New Jersey by the Sano Corporation from 1950 until 1980. Here are a couple of links to the history of Sano.


Although there not a widely known amplifier they have quite a cult following of those who own them and know what a nice quality amp they are, I have this one plus a 1959 version.
When I got this amp the it was a bit week and had an awful hum so I did some testing and found the filter capacitors and the powers tubes were bad so I bought new filter caps and replaced the tubes with new Sovteck EL84s. I also replaced a few resisters that were needed. I also replaced the original speaker. It sounded pretty fuzzy and a bit scratchy so I replaced it with a Celestin Vintage 30 and huge difference.
With the changes this amp is running great and sounds great and ready to gig.
I will include a labor guarantee if anything goes wrong with it Ill be happy to fix it for free( my labor) you buy the parts, this is just an old man’s hobby I like to work on old amps.
Her is a link to a video of the amp

Thanks for you time and interest
