I don't remember much about the old Acoustics, I never had one. Any chance of a picture and details about speakers, wattage, configuration, etc.?

a quick google search turned up the following:

The full name of the amp manufacturer was "acoustic control corporation".

Here is the unofficial acoustic amp page....pricelists and such are there...i did not see a model 123 but there is a lot of info there:
http://acoustic360.homeunix.net/index2.html

here is a link to the harmony central review area for the 123 model including prices paid for the amp used:

hope this helps....

Well it looks like this series, I'm guessing. Here's a Model 122:

and here's a model 124:

Does it look like those? Perhaps the 2x12" speaker version?

In the review the guy paid $360 for his, I think new in 1981. They were introduced in 1974. It's probably worth a couple hundred bucks. Good amp, but solid state and not real popular. I remember I didn't care for the "Acoustic" amp sound back in those days, it was too lifeless for me. But they were loud, clear and dependable.
