Bought my Dynacord Eminent for about 160 euro, and got a pretty nice vintage 2 x 12" cabinet with it which appears to be made by the 'Roy brothers', some kind of a forrunner of Kitty Hawk products.
The Dynacord was built somewhere between 1960 and 1964. It's got two EL34 tubes and about 5 smaller tubes in the pre-amp. Because the amp has old-fashioned din-inputs I drilled a hole in it and made a jack-input for my guitar. It has 4 channels (2 instrument inputs and 2 mic-inputs) and it has 4 speaker outputs(16 ohm, 8 ohm and two 4 ohm outputs). On each channel it has a switch for echo, but you need the Dynacord Echolette to use that. On each channel it has a volume/gain knob. It has a master volume, and you can adjust treble and bass.
I use this amp with my Hohner Te Custom (tele) guitar, Boss turbo overdive, Vesta Fire distortion, Boss Delay/sampler and a Boss Autowah. It has plenty of power (about 50 W), and it's very loud!

The brightness and thickness of the sound surprised me, considering the age of this amp. It's not noisy at all, sound doesn't distort at high volumes, unless you set the volume knob of the used channel at max, then it produces a nice fat distorted sound at high volumes.

I don't know....I guess it's reliable considering the year it was built (about 1960). It survived for 45 years so far...and Dynacord is know for it's reliable products.
