At the end of the first half of the sixties a small audio amplifier appeared in small electronics stores. It had an avant-garde for those times appearance and shocking pink colored casing.
This was, produced by Warsaw manufacturer called "ELZA", the "WS17 Luna" amplifier designed for ad-hoc sound reproduction in medium-sized rooms: school auditoriums, smaller churches, small clubs etc.
. I am a fan of Lotus team, so it's no surprise that I like this color combination. The only problem is the inability to take a picture in a way that surrounding objects are not reflected in the golden housing. It is presumed that one of the purposes underlying the company was to promote electron tubes produced by them (the preamplifier has as many as 8 tubes). This has been only partially successfull. Preamplifier certainly served the brand, but rather as an independent audio device, than the device equipped with tubes with JJ logo. In some copies, which I inspected I found tubes from other manufacturers.
