Aims amnplifiers ? (combo)

[ted s]

Anyone ever heard of them ? Early to mid 70's ?
I just got back from my neighbours house, he told me a while ago he has an "old amp" in the crawl space, and hadn't used it in a while.
Still works, apparently he bought it used mid 70's. This thing is freaking huge and heavy. 2 channels, reverb, trem, f/w jack, external cab. jack and what looks to be four 10". Model on the back is VTG-105, made in Arizona. It didn't explode or start any fires and started to quiet down once she got good and hot.
I asked him to give me first dibs if he decides to sell.
According to the 'innernet, Aims wasn't around very long.

Looks like it's from 1972. Here's a couple ads.

thanks Wacky, I saw that as well and a couple Harmony Central reviews and that's about it.

My good friend has one. The head with the 4 10's or 12's. I'm not sure which. I have a standing order to get first crack at it along with his Ibanez Iceman when he decides to get rid of them. :AOK: He's had it since the 70's.
