This print showcases a vintage amplifier that played an integral role in DJ setups during the 1970s. Created by the renowned Yamaha Corporation, this particular model, known as the F1030, was proudly used by Angelo T. King, a prominent figure in African American music history. The sleek front of the amplifier features an all-black design with off-white text highlighting its various functions and specifications. At the top center, we find the distinctive Yamaha logo alongside the words "FREQUENCY DIVIDING NETWORK" and "MODEL F1030". Nine dials adorn the front panel, allowing precise control over modes, inputs, crossover frequencies, and equalization levels. The top of this remarkable piece displays intricate diagrams and even bears DJ Tony Tones' signature—an homage to his contribution to music culture. Turning our attention to its backside reveals a neatly stored power cord along with five power outlets labeled in off-white type for easy identification. Cautionary messages are also present on one side while essential information about its model number and serial details can be found in white type. This photograph not only captures an iconic audio equipment but also represents a significant era in black history where creativity flourished through DJing and musical innovation. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact stands as a testament to both technological advancements and cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
