Can an owner's manual and schematic be found for an Electron Kinetics eagle 7a power amp


Hi Guy’s, out there in Audiogon world! I just picked up an eagle 7a power amp, the guy that I got the amp from said it had been in storage for years and it was still in the shipping crate but no owner’s manual or schematic. can anybody tell me if this is a good amp or a waste of money for $300.00, I don’t know much about this power amp, but I would like to power a pair of Acoustats 6+6 I am willing to purchase a manual and schematic from anyone on the forum if that is possible. The strange thing about this amp is it don’t have a power switch. and are there any techs that can work on this amp, what things should be updated on this amp since it has been sitting in a crate. I had the guy plug it up and it played fine, does the a after 7 mean anything on this amp on the model number? I would feel comfortable having looked over and not after it goes up in smoke. any help would be appreciated. Thanks, guys!

I can't speak to the condition of your unit, but that is an excellent amplifier, and well worth the money if it is in good condition.

I have the 7A amp too! Designed by John Iverson in the late 70's. TAS reviewed and liked it. If it works and sounds fine leave it alone! It can drive electrostatic speakers with ease! If you use it with the Acoustats leave it on 24/7. That will assure a long and healthy life! Turning it on and off every day will just stress the parts/caps unduly.
