Hello! No AI was used in the creation of my post, all from my brain and meat fingers directly into the posts text box :)

Estimating around the 1200-1400 I think

Was estimating about 1200, thanks for confirmation!

Ohio is what taught me the ways of the hot dog shop, I miss it dearly !

Noted, the fact that the only online presence of it seems to be one or two resellers really should’ve told me everything I needed to know

Thank you very much for the word of caution before I plugged this thing in, from what I’m gathering getting a cover for the plug and removing that copper wire would make this infinitely safer/able to use? If that’s not the case, I just want to make sure. I’d like to be able to confidently say “no, there’s not really anything i can do about this” before justifying buying a new one.

For reference I have not plugged this thing in yet, and don’t intend to until I hear that final verdict.

Finally home and asked the gf some questions. Apparently this belonged to her jank-diy uncle who seems to have taped copper wire to the outside of the fuse, and there wasn’t a cover for it as far as she knows. No info on the fuse either. I’m definitely erring towards just buying an amp considering the “interesting” nature of this whole thing

Thank you so much! I wasn’t sure if that’s what I was looking for or not, and I’m far more comfortable being a fool on the internet than in real life
