>>I assumed he was referring to "CALVED". Yes TOA make amps, small PA's, etc.<<

correct assumption, shoulda made that clear but these lists don't seem to support italics. 

I was surprised & amused to see "calved" to mean, one presumes, the same as our north-east-england word "raxed" or "smettered", because the entry in the d/b predates bart simpson's "don't have a cow, man!" by some time, implying wider use of bovine references in this area of the US vernacular.

I used to have a toa p.a. amp; it was given to me as a junker & needed a new DC fuse.... 
120W, multiple inputs & outputs (it could drive 4-16 ohm & 70V or 100V line from different taps on the same output trafo), & it could run off mains or 12V battery. wish I still had it.
