Why have you given up on a Citation II?
There are plenty around. I had one for sale on another site and did not get the kind of interest I was looking for so here it sits.
There are plenty about. But most often, you will have to refurbish them adding considerably to the cost if you cannot do the work on your own. If push pull is your thing they are hard to beat for the investment vs. new. when refurbished.
Good luck!

One thing I should add about the Latino ST-70/120. And this IS important.
It is a fully tweaked modded out amp. Open the box, assemble it and sit back and listen for 20 or so years. NO tweaking needed. It's already done!
Also this is NOT your Grand Dads Dynaco. It does not sound or perform like a stock or even upgraded Dynaco.
It's one of the great ones.
If you have the cash, time and can find a Citation in the condition you want then go for it. I've been fooling around with stereos for years and this is about as good as an amp can get.
With the money you save you can tube roll until your hearts content.

The ST-70 is not a Citation II. I have two ST-70's, one running KT-88's with a beefed up power supply and another running KT-77's. Both have VTA upgrade boards and have been completely rebuilt. They are very nice sounding amps but they are not on the same level as my rebuilt Deuce or rebuilt McIntosh MC225.
