Dynaco SCA-35

 The SCA-35 is a one piece combined pre and power amplifier. It is the best value of all the Dynaco components and can deliver half again as much steady-state power at the audio extremes as many other units adbertised at twice the wattage.

 Features

1) Input selector for phono, tape head and three high level sources

2) Exclusive bandpass filter eliminates rumble and scratch without destroying the musical balance

3) Functional, easy to understanad controls make it easy for the whole family to use, with sufficient flexibility for the enthusiiast's subtle adjustments.

4) Speaker terminal connectors provided for driving a center speaker, no other amplification required.

5)Inputs for low and high output magnetic cartridges as well as ceramic cartridge provided

6) Three preassembbled etched circuit boards reduce assembly time, no adjustments of any kind are required

7) Specially engineered Dynaco output transformers have phase reversal frequency in excess of 300 kHz to provide complete stability regardless of speaker load.

8) 120/240 V AC power transformer available on special oreder for overseas use.

 The SCA-35 is a completely proven amplifier. Since its introduction in 1963, literally tens of thousends have been built from kits or acquired factory assembled. Even though an integrated amplifier, it maintains Dynaco's reputation for easy -to-build kits, as attested by High Fidelty Magazine: "Building the SCA-35 offered no problems, and several hours of pleasant diversion, to the kit enthusiast. The printed circuit boards are supplied with parts already mounted, and wiring to them and to the rest of the chassis is fairly simple because of the happy absence of crowded areas. The instruction manual is clearly written and excellently illustrated. Total working time was eight hours."

  The result, the magazine went on, "… is, in a word, an excellent amplifier - especially so in view of its cost"   Kit price in 1971 was $ 99,55 for East and $ 104,95 for West.
