I got a 22rh580 integrated amplifier from Charles yesterday: (thank you very much!)

(web pic, not mine, which needs washing still)

One of the 4 output transistors is missing (others might be dead?) , but Mantech has NTE equivalents so not a crisis.
The ODDITY is this: the RIAA equalisation is built into the amplifier permanently, and the tuner and tape inputs are put through a reverse RIAA network prior to swiching. Nuts! Loudness, as you'll see below, is always 'on'.
