When it comes to amps and guitars (and bikes) ............... Yamaha is the thing for me.
Design, sound, simplicity and durability.

Here is the Yamaha amp that I'm still looking for ........
Yamaha RA-200R
Yamaha rotating horn combo amplifier.
Vintage "Leslie effect" keyboard amp.

Other fittings: pilot lamp, power switch, input jack, external speaker socket.
Speakers: 4 x JA3502A 12" cone driver plus 3 x JA1701B rotary horn driver.
Amplifiers: 3 x ND90G 90W solid state amps (1 for horns & 2 for 2 each 12").
Total output power: 200W rms
Dimensions: 1156 (H) x 735 (W) x 490 (W)

Just like the other Yamaha RA amps, this one have all the controls placed on the rear side giving easy control for the organ grinder while the speakers face the audience.
The RA amps are also used by guitar players, and the RA-200R was used by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd on Comfortably Numb and other tracks of that era.
Yamaha RA-200
Like many guitarists in the late sixties and early seventies David’s secret weapon in creating his magical tone was blending his Hiwatt amps with rotating speakers.
The effect can be heard on many Floyd recordings and was an essential part of David’s live tone between 1971-83 and again in 1994.
