Have searched the net can not find sechmatic or any information on this amp
Just thought maybe someone had serviced one of these amp and could help me
Seems to be very rare

Wonder if this product had anything to do with the HeathKit folks... they were also in Benton Harbor, MI I believe.  Assembled several HeathKits when I was a kid.

to lazy to google history, I do know a couple acoustic players that have used modded versions and love how the amp does NOT "add" to their sound

No more related than Whirlpool, still in/near BH.

A century ago BH was hopping with docks and manufacturing. The Heath company goes to the early days of airplanes, but was traded-around. After WWII they ate surplus electronics and shipped kits.

VM was founded in that post-WWII period, and perhaps in the general atmosphere of low-rent buildings and surplus machinery, but seems to be no relation. They both faded-away at similar times, but if you did HeathKits you recall the global changes in electronics which doomed many old names.

Meanwhile BH has changed a lot, population fallen, property value gone.

You guys know Heathkit has re-started DIY operations.

BH has changed a lot

through the late '90's /2000's it was vying to become Detroit west, drugs, gangs.
It's trying to get back to the "better" days.  As a teen in the '70s was a great place to take your Girl

Replaced old caps with same value sounds much better with my old Gretsch guitar
Thanks for all your help
