Vintage Sony TA-1130 Stereo Integrated Amplifier 2 Phono inputs, Pre-Outs f/Amp

Description

Greetings - I am very pleased to offer this old-school (1972-74) Japanese Sony TA-1130 integrated amp.  I tested it with the DefTech BiPolar towers shown (but not part of this auction):
This is one of the amps that put Sony on the map as a serious contender.  It sports 2 Phono inputs, dual speaker connections (great cabling to  speakers with dual connectors) and Pre-Outs if you wish to use it as a PreAmp only in unison with your own Power Amp.  A very flexible unit.
It has, as do many vintage units, the scratchy sound when you rotate some of the knobs (fine after you let go), usually this is due to oxidized surface on the pot - i have not had the cover off for a cleaning inside but that's what it needs.  the pots can be wire brushed and then treated with contact cleaner, in most cases, that should solve this problem.
Sound is very good across the range with very strong bass response.  I don't know if it would drive 70's vintage power-hungry AR floor towers but with more efficient Cerwin-Vegas, JBLs or Klipsch i think fine.  Tested DefTechs are 6ohm w/4 drivers and it drove these easily at 1/3 to 1/2 power (my loudness limit) with solid (not sw) Bass response.
Specs:
Power Output:
2 x 50watts RMS @ 8 ohms
Frequency Response:
10Hz to 200kHz
THD:  0.05% THD
Speaker load impedance: 4Ω (minimum)
I have been on eBay for close to 20 years and literally shipped all over the world, so rest assured your integrated amp will arrive safely.  (btw I will have a lot more audio eqpt. to post so stay tuned if this would be of interest)
