That was the stack my dad had in the 80s! I can distinctively remember the dial layout on the amp, the feeling of the switches when they changed position on my fingers and the heft of the volume dial in the middle.
I don’t know what happened to them; i’m a little bit sad about that now.
Later on he built his own amp. He never had a formal education in electronics, but he taught himself quite a lot, including fixing TV’s with bad solder spots.
