History

Back in the day when I was younger my brother inherited a radiogram from his then father in law. This was a complete Leak Stereo 20 system. This included the Varislope pre-amp, Trough line II tuner (with magic eye) and the power amp all housed in a nice veneered cabinet with turntable and plenty of album space!. 

Those were the days......

Eventually my brother 'upgraded' to a solid state system. I managed to purloin the Leak equipment from him in the late seventies. At the time all the Leak components were in full working order and original condition. Unfortunately I did not store it too well. The valves got broken and the tuner and pre-amp did not survive. The amp ended up in a distressed state. So in the mid eighties I stripped the amp down and stored it away as a retirement project.

That time has now arrived. The design is now over 60 years old.
