Partly made in China to keep their prices down for you, but assembled, customized and tested in Belgium by Bob Van Der Valk

Hello. I just tried to find more about this strange amp. EAITC belgium is found on the web as a multi-business site, and there's not a lot of information about amps.
I have once received one for repair, and the "customer" didn't come to take it back, afraid of bill to pay for maintenance.
How to say? I've never seen such crap !!! No printed board, components mounted directly on tube sockets, electrical security absolutely not guaranteed (risk of fire! ), and I 've never had the opportunity to listen something to appreciate the sound, because the output transformer was burned ( the power tubes also) ...
I can not imagine how this pack could be sold in Europe, the "CE" label is so difficult to obtain... How is it possible to sell things like this?????
Another musician who knew the owner told me that he (the owner) never wants to take back his amp because he prefers to buy another one, the very low price discourages to repair the old one.
Now, my enterprise is ended, the belgian government is a champ to destroy the very little enterprises with big amount of taxes, and the stress leads to serious accidents. Bad customers bringing craps to repair for free didn't make things go better...
At the time I was currently repairing all kind of stage equipments, I had a project: to create a new model of guitar amp sounding like full-tube amp, but with hybrid technology... tube sound, but much lighter and rugged. No big tubes to replace nor output transformer. there are some ECC83 (or 12AX7A ) however.
Now i'm "pre-retired", I have time to spend on ressearch and I think it's on the good way.
When the prototype will be correctly operationnal, I will let some guitarists try it, and search for some honest industrial partner...

@T-bone, is that an actual photo of the amp's innards?

hello,
I ca&n confirm this: this is really the "Conquest" of EAITC Belgium; I have a wreck of this model "opened" in my lab at this moment...

No the first commercial amp I see with NO PCB/eyelets/turrets/strip bridges/perfboard/NOTHING , just parts soldered straight to sockets, jacks, pots and switches ... and when not possible glued to the chassis.
Enjoy:

I'm not sure at this point that there's any connection with Belgium besides a dodgy domain name, and the fact that some amps ended up there. The amp in the picture is strictly from hunger. On the other hand if the iron is any good it's a starting point for building something interesting. Kind of like an amp parts kit needing some assembly.
