Hey! Those look familiar! I have one, bit note the minty IC150 on top of it
[old ass pic]
Even the computer monitor is old-skool!
Sweet!
I had an IC-150A also but I sold it a couple months ago to get a regular surround receiver. A step backwards in some ways but it freed up 2 of my DC-300As for bridged sub use (one per 15" sub) and I needed something with a remote and digital in.
I love the old Crown stuff, it just keeps going and going.
Might want to look at Fisher. Scott and Fisher shared a lot of things.
Without even seeing the front of the amp, I thought it was a Fisher 101 something or another.

That unit was rescued from a dumpster, recapped and is running well. Still original power tubes that are in good shape and still has the original Telefunken front end. The final gain/phase inverters have been replaced with NOS Sylvania.
That's funny! I've aways been a big Orion preamp guy, 500PMQ's and 300PHD's. We've got a Fosgate guy, a PPI_Guy and an Orion guy. That's old school.
Well, I have to choose between an install using a PPI 4200M and a 2150M or an Orion setup using two HCCA 250r's. I've always used PPI but, might try the Orions "just because".
Oh yeah! Love the PPI pre-amps! I've always used Rockford PA-1's and 2's. Any idea on how they compare?
I have used all of them. Many setups. Here is how I rate them IMO. The Orion is last place. Nice EQ, but the Rockford Fosgate PA-1 and Pre-Z have them beat. Then the PPI 224 and 225 are nicer than the RF PA-1 and RF Pre-Z. Then what tops all of them is the Zapco PX and PEQ. Best ones out there for the old school eq's IMO. Then we have the Linear power eq's. There are the EQ-1 and PA-2. They fit IMO between the PPI and the Zapco PX.
1. Zapco PX and PEQ/SEQ
2. PPI 224 and 225
3. Rockford Fosgate PA-1 and PRE-Z (pre Z was replaced by the PA-1)
4. Orion 300 , 500
I don't have any PPI or Orion EQ's anymore, but do have a lot of the PX, 1 of each of the Linear, and a lot of the RF eq's. These are just my opinions after using all of the above eq's. Installed/used/owned at least a dozen of each except for the Linear power eq's. The Rockford PA-1 and Orion 300, at least 100 or more I installed for customers, repaired, or owned over the years. Both were hot items in 1989 through 93.

You should at least try them. We all have to go slummin' at least once in life.
I just scored a PPI Sedona 2250
( 2 x 250 WPC @4ohms sum bitch is 2' l x 8'.5" w)
over the weekend if anybody has any info or owners manual LMK
will post pic soon
also, I don't know if it is bridgeable or not?
maybe one of the Old Skool PPI guy's can help me out

I think you are referring to the 500i or 500ix?
Nice amps. Best I recall they are 2 ohm stable and bridgeable but, the power output doesn't double like the flagship PPI's. Reportedly very clean sounding and tough amps.
Is yours white or charcoal?
Looking forward to some pics...including internals if you have the time!

Check out some old SA2's and PSA2's still matches aesthetically but mo-powa. They are current machines!
