Used in conjunction with a Transonic amp, that one?

Yes. My Transonic 220 has a Ric-O-Gain outlet. I've read the brief catalog description of it's use, but never have seen one.

If you plugged a Rick-O-Gain power amp and another cabinet to your Transonic, it would bring up the power to 700 Watts. Or so I understand. I really know very little about it, thus my inquiry.

I remember F.C. showing me a Transonic speaker cabinet that had speakers and a power amp in it only, and the Rick-O-Gain from a 100 was plugged into it. I think I remember he said 350 watts? Or was it that you could cascade these to 350 watts, dang, it's been 42+ years, I wish I'd taken notes. Anyway, yeah, they do (did) exist at one point. Maybe John can step in and clarify my memoir.
