Need Help Identifying Old School Amp!!


Colin - STAPUFT

Recommended Posts

Ok- old amp I scored some time back. I stuck it in the corner and forgot about it until now.

I wiped it down and popped it open and found almost nothing inside. I know it is built in the USA, so early 90s I assume. The amp board says "75-2575 REV C" on it, and next to the MADE IN USA there is "JKS". A tag on the back says "HOOPER 2X50" and "SN 200292" so maybe 1992? Any research I can find hints that this may be an old PPI board.

On to the photos:

Yeah, from the I.D. tag looks like an old 50x2, no idea on a manufacturer.

I understand, "Hooper" should be referring to Daryl Hooper...

"Hooper's research and teaching experience was mainly in the area of transistor theory and characterization, pulse-forming circuits, wide band amplifiers, active filters and integrated circuit design. In 1968, Edward Moore Cherry and Daryl Hooper published their book on circuit design entitled Amplifying Devices and Low-Pass Amplifier Design. The book ran to 1036 pages and was regarded as the premier book on the design of transistor amplifiers."

Or, the Cherry-Hooper amplifier types...

Looks like those PPI special editions you see every once in a while on ebay for sale, hook it up and try it out. Looks like a 25x2 or 50x2 from the size of it.

Yep- I'm about to go outside and hook it up to see what she does. Everything looks good under the hood. It smells like 1990s USA made audio. mmmmmm.... tasty!

There is a store here in town that has been here FOREVER and it is named "Hooper's" - I just figured they threw that sticker on there. lol
