That combination was designed to cover the full frequency range cleanly and at volume — the kind of setup favored by working jazz guitarists who needed a loud, clear, hi-fi sound without a separate PA. At 86 pounds on casters, this was a serious gigging amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no repairs or modifications anywhere on this amp — cabinet, baffle, chassis, and all speakers are original. Two of the knobs are missing their indicator faceplates, which is worth noting, but the knobs themselves are present and original. The covering is the original black vinyl and remains intact. Cabinet and baffle are both in very good shape with no noted repairs. The grille is in excellent condition. No reverb, tremolo, or onboard effects — the Taurus Elite was built as a clean, transparent platform. Power cable is hard-wired. No detectable odor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCasters are included. No case, cover, pedal, or documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Material: vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Color: lack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Repairs\/Changes: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Style: metal diamond grill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Material: heavy duty multi-ply wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Repairs\/Changes: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDate: 1980s, not sure of exact year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 86 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDimensions: w 22\" x h 31-3\/4\" (without casters) x d 15\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWatts: 165 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Material: heavy duty multi-ply wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Repairs\/Changes: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eKnobs Original?: yes, 2 missing the indicator face plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle Material: heavy duty hard plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Brand: Eminence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Size: 15\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Manufacturer Code: 67\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Cone Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 2 \u0026amp;
