FARFISA BR-80 early transistor amplifier head.

Vintage, Made in Italy in 1967 with serial number 317/345. 
Farfisa along with Davoli, Meazzi and Binson, produced during the sixties in Italy, top-of-the-line professional equipment for musicians. Their models rivaled the best from England's Vox, Selmer and Marshall and USA's Fender, Gibson and Ampeg. Both in building & sound quality. Model BR80 was the flagship of Farfisa in their 1967 catalogue.

Description: 
Top quality from start to finish in this masterpiece of sound engineering! BR80 is a rare beast. It came out of the Farfisa factory in 1967 in the early days of 80-100 watt transistor amplifiers but only a few were ever produced. It's high asking price at the time made it a forbidden fruit for most and its production ceased shortly after.
2 independant channels (2 inputs each) with separate volume & eq controls. Limiter, treble booster, tremolo. 1 x 80 watt output or 2 x 40 watt independent outputs.
Weight: ~ 25kg
