Classe Seventy amp found in alley


Sitting in my downtown alley was this Classe Seventy amp. Other than a little bit dirty and having some sort of felt glued all over the top, its condition is good. And after hooking my Dynaco preamp up to it with some average speakers, it works fine. I'm still trying to figure out if I stumbled onto an abandoned, stolen item or maybe it was found in a move-out pile and the scrounger couldn't sell or trade it so he dumped it where I found it. It's kind of heavy. So did I find something desirable?

According to the Orion Audio Blue Book, the 70 was made in 1992, has 75 watts per channel and had a list price of $1195.00.
Keep it but report it to the local police department that you found it and give them the model number and serial number. This way, if it was or is reported stolen, you won't be held responsible.

I had the larger Classe ( model 15) from the same era and it was an outstanding amp. If you decide to sell it ,they go for about $500.
I love these stories. A friend of mine bought a perfectly working ARC-SP3a preamp at an estate sale for thirty-five bucks. Back in the early 80s, I bought a Dynaco ST-70 and a Pas-3 preamp, both in perfect working order, for four bucks each.
