The last of the classic Quad preamplifiers, with plug-in input cards that owners still swap.
Solid-state: missing input cards are common and reduce the price.
Marks that can be entered for this maker: Serial number, Model / catalogue number, British capacitor code (Hunts, Mullard), Japanese capacitor code (Nichicon, Chemi-Con, ELNA), EIA component code, Version & era marker.
Nothing predates 1979; components only push the date later.
Sold-price aggregates are not collected yet, so the archive gives no figure — condition, originality of the transformers and a documented recap move this model more than any list price.
