VOX PAR100SS - details of a scrapped amp
1971 / 1972
On this page, pictures of a complete PAR100SS, and a short overview of its design, is given here. The main page on the PAR100 can be found here.
The pictures below are of a unit from which a good number of parts have been removed. But it is interesting nonetheless as one can see better how the chassis is constructed, and how the preamp is arranged.
Most of the components have date codes from 1970 and 1971 - the orange Sprague capacitor, of which there is detail, has "71/02" = Feb. 1971.
The "Birch-Stolec" stamp indicates the amp was produced after late summer 1971. Chassis number "215". The metal case is passivated - treated in a chromium dip - to retard rust.
If anyone knows of any other units, do let me know.
