SAE "X" Series
I started out intending only to collect the "X" series gear that
had the optional black face plate instead of
grey, but I can't control myself. I decided to collect both grey and
black.

 You will notice on "X" series
components that you will see two different shades of grey anodizing. I don't
know if this was intentional or a quality control issue, but I am trying to
find out. |

This is the power cord tag for the "X" series |
|

This is my latest acquisition: a T101 AM/FM Tuner
with a silver/gray anodized face plate to
match the "X" series amps and pre-amp thus making it an "X-T101".
Now I have to track down the X-E101 Equalizer.

I have acquired two black faced X10A-s. One without the
power switch and one with. I also finally found an X15A black. This is the
only one I have ever seen but I am sure there are a few more out there. Now I have to locate
the rest.

This is a picture of an X15A amplifier with an on/off switch (also on
the X10A). Due to
European regulations enacted in the early 1980's, preamplifiers were not
allowed to have the switched outlets with the higher amperage ratings
required for amplifiers and therefore audio manufactures had to re-tool
any amps that did not have on/off switches in order to export them to
Europe. Some of these amps can be found stateside because Pacific
Stereo also requested the on/off switch on the "X" and "01"units they sold.
