Here is a seller offering a nice looking Sano at a good price. These are very well-built amps designed by Joe Zonfrilli that are similar in quality to a Magnatone but without the "True Vibrato" circuit. Still they have their appeal. Very loud for a 65 watt amp this should make a nice platform for a Jazz, Country, Surf, or Vintage Rock stage rig.
I am not familiar enough with these to tell you how the "stereo" channel would work but I know the tremolo is assignable to either channel 1 or 2. As usual, for more info on Sano amps consult with Larry John Mcnally's nicely researched website you can reach by clicking here: SANO AMPS - Larry John McNally.

Very rare ~50 watt 2x12 tube amplifier from the 70s , just serviced and ready to rock. Appears to be all original. Great warm clean tones all the way to 10--Sort of Ampeg-like. Would make a great surf amp or platform for pedals. For such a clean machine it has a very nice spongey feel to it, perhaps because of the cathode bias design.
This is about the size and weight of a Twin Reverb so if you live within a reasonable distance of St. Paul, MN we'll meet. Don't mind shipping, but it could be a bit pricey (then again, these aren't easy to find so maybe it's worth it to you.)
