My blog has been very quite as of late as I have not really found to much cool gear worth bringing home, most of the time it is the black plastic stuff that is everywhere on the market.
I did come across this super cool Procom PR-400 which is a Rotel SX-200 made between 1970-1972. These are made in Japan for Charles W. Pointon, most likely an OE brand under their own name. From my internet sleuthing Charles Pointon brought in Gerrard turntables into Canada.
This little monster in rated at 10WPC so nothing to upset the neighbours, and I like the low powered type amps.
It has a Sherwood/Marantz look to it and build quality, made in Japan.
The bulbs are burnt out, the pots needed cleaning and the nice wood veneer case needs a bit of a redo with sand paper and a wood stain.
Not much information on the Procom series but lots if you Google Rotel from this era. I look forward to getting to listen to this at some point.
