  Very rare, made by Cincinnati transformer and I personally knew the man who sold the last 4 NOS to Bob and he wound (attempted?) the rest using that template. I owned 1 of the first 200 SS Carver M1.0T amps that were voiced by Carver to sound like the Conrad Johnson Premiere 5's. Ran day and night for 10 years then sold it Sounded almost as good as my Bedini Class A 100/100.

    It looks like it was made by Edcor.

      Around 15 lbs, But we're interleaved special from Cincinnati tx-former that were designed for some gigantic organ. Lynn Spelts whom worked for Baldwin for some 30 years sold the last 3 to Bob Carver... Who destroyed one to copy.
      
      That is all I know except Baldwin usually used one transformer for highs and another for lows.... This one took care of everything.

        So you're not talking about these amps?

        These are the amps with the tiny output transformers hiding under the nice big cover cans.
