The shop owner claimed cleaning it would reduce its value. I’ll save the dirt just in case.

Red Eye Boost: Thickens up your sound without getting boomy, rounds off the sharp edges for creamy tube amp overdrive, and adds just a bit of germanium fuzz at the highest gain setting.

These were a best seller for Diatone / Mitsubishi back in 1973, so there are quite a few in the secondhand markets now. They couldn’t be called transparent, but they are very nice to listen to — they have a distinct sound that I can only describe as smooth and liquid, with a chunky low end. Reference recordings don’t sound as good as on a reference system, but average recordings sound good, and even bad recordings are listenable.
