RCS Phantom 50

[ViVino]

Hey everyone!

 

This is my first bass amp, purchased from eBay for 20£ back 20 years ago now. Anybody got any more information on it or know anything about these? The most I can find is they are UK kit-amps from a radio spares based on Leeds. This thing is old, so was trying to pinpoint a year. Anyways, it does not work anymore (damp got in when left in a shed) but from memory it had a Fane speaker in it which I am now mounting into new enclosure to bring life into as much as what I can.

I’m no expert but the RSC logo is making me think Radio Shack that was sold in the UK via Tandy stores until around 1999?

The shape, size and panel layout look identical to a FAL combo that used to be kicking around at a scruffy arts cafe I frequented, and I think FAL were also a Leeds company. I wonder if Linear (on the back panel) are the same company as the older Linear Concord valve amps.
