[Amps] Hammond HL-2000A

[Eddy Swynar]

Hi Jerome,

Originally that amplifier was built by a company in Scarborough, Ontario, called "VIEWSTAR". When they went outta business, Fred Hammond picked-up the product line---and when that arrangement came to an end, Barker & Williamson started manufacturing & marketing the line under their name...

In the early 80's---when it was still VIEWSTAR---I had occasion to examine one of the amps "...up close & personal" at a Hamfest. I must say, I was impressed with the construction and with the quality of the parts, both. I don't know what such a unit might be worth to-day, but they sure were/are impressive, IMHO...
