Hi Audiolovers, 
I've done it (again) and bought myself a new amp and I just realised my current equipment rack might not be able to hold her... so I'm currently bidding on this bad boy... 
My question is do you think this rack will be able to handle my 64 pound tube amp? I'll take off the redundant wheels 
The other components are only about 10 kgs each, so no worries there... 
Thanks for your informed opinions!

Why not contact the manufacturing company or check their web page.

If it’s properly built and not chintzed on parts, I would not be concerned about any glass shelves.

I have a bespoke custom-built clone of the NAIM FRAIM

and the tempered glass shelves support my REGA OSIRIS integrated amp with EZ- PZ ease. ( ~ 57 lbs)

According to the comments on the ad below the photo even the owner doesn’t know. You pays your money and you take your chances.

Glass looks to be about 1/4in thick and is sitting on steel crossmembers. I think you would be just fine.

Thanks very much everyone! My current rack has four small metal tabs that the 1/4 inch thick tempered glass rests upon, even though my dealer said it would be fine, I'm going for the more overcautious (but budget approach). We had a baby 7 days ago so I can't go spending too much money just yet.
