    ACCURATE
    This graphic is accurate to the A501 which has the 250 watts, note the amp Power Level Display.
    The A301 shows 175 watts per channel and the A501 shows 250 watts.
    The A501 was produced from 1978-1988.
    These models, in many peoples opinion, reflect an exceptional high point of SAE manufacturing and design in the late 70's through mid 80's.
    AUTHENTIC
    Front Panel
    The amplifer graphics / lettering for SAE is very sophisticated for its day. The front display was particulary unique. The bank of LED's showing watts and headroom were uniquely SAE. The graphic lines of dB used different colors, white, turquoise and red. The A501 used red. Since the original faceplate was screen printed on anodized black aluminum, there was a little bleed through, and the red used on this mug shows that.
    Graphics
    You don't have to be a graphic designer to notice the unique and very modern font used by the SAE artist. It is similar to the "Federation" font, but it is not. All of the lettering was made specifically for SAE, and were made by hand, as is this is before typesetting on a computer, and this is not an off the shelf font. The SAE artist should be commended for their attention to craft and detail:
    Note the A that leans left on the word DUAL and leans right on the word - AMPLIFIER
    Note the small gap in the H horizontal stroke
    Note the custom font for the number 1 in A501 (who does that? - SAE!)
    BRAND NAME / TRADEMARK
    There is the brand name "DamnSlick.com" in handwritten script on the mug. See Photo.
    I have tried to keep my trademark signature as small  and discrete as possible.
    I want my mug to show authenticity of my brand, graphics, quality and customer service.
    If this is bothersome to you, please don't order the mug.
    Thank you for understanding.
    HISTORICALLY CORRECT
    Much effort has been taken to make this as authentic and accurate to the brand / model, and be period correct as possible.  All graphics are exactly to scale / proportional to each other and as color accurate as possible. The type face used for Scientific Audio Electronics and Made in Los Angeles, is the font used on the back of the A301 and A501 amplifiers and Owners Manuals during this time period.
    PACKING
    They will be packed really well and shipped.
    RETURNS
    Let us know if you are disappointed with the mug or shipping, so we can make it right.
