what "Franked" means that Phoenix gold released Limited edition amps called "frankampnstien" and "son of frankampnstien" they were black with like these flakes in the powerder coating. they also came with a coffin and burlap bag.

any hoo when the members are referring to Franked, they mean the powder coating scheme that PG did on those amps. they were really beautiful mutations of the famed MS amplifiers.
just ask some of the members here to post pics of the amps.

Mostly you will see the term "Franked" referring to other components, such as a base cube or a crossover. Meaning they have been finished cosmetically to match the amps.
Black with metallic flakes and pink silk screened lettering.

I might just "frank" my M100 since its ugly as fukk. But doubt the pink lettering will not go with the gold heat sink.

Just get the sink re anodized. That would be sick. I would love to see a set of m amps franked.

Working on that right now with mhyde71. I don't think anodizing the heat sink will be cheap....from what I remember I was told it would be very costly due to the process. Pink heat sink perhaps?

That is a Franked AX406. They came with the FrankAmpNStein amps when new. Im sure you could order one seperate as well.

Kg1961 might have an idea on value. I think he recently purchased one.

Well the SAFS stands for Son of Frank amp N Stein. Then a serial # of 0344.

Correct me if im wrong but i was under the impression only 300 SFAS were made? To me, that indicates it was ordered seperate and not as a set with an LE amp.
