That amp is IDENTICAL looking to the amp you sent me to repair. I am sure the only difference is the silk screening on top.

I have had thought of that before but how would you keep the Milling raw? Orion didnt use Silk screening on the tops of there amps. It was milled in to the heat sink after it was anodized. So it wouldn't have been hard to do for them seeing as the XTRs were the same sink just in black.

what i would do is re-dip/anodize.... then mask off the the opposing area and bead blast the lettering to bring it back to raw alum.
my .02 as a quick how to- crude- but i bet it would work

There are only 5 of these ever made. The most rare amp Orion ever made, though the selling price will not reflect it.....it's worth as much as any other HCCA unforunately.
Thunderdome has it now.
I got better pics though, including internals.
Those drapes look familiar....
Funny everyone likes it......I couldn't sell it for $200 shipped for the life of me last year, with the original box
.....traded it for a M44 in the end.

No big deal, this amp cost me a friendship and $700 before it ever left my hands......I was happy to see it go.
Pics coming

Hook it up when you get a chance and make sure everything works. On more than one occasion I have had an amp work here and then not work upon arrival. Shipping can knock a lot of stuff loose I guess.
