Anyhow, I just bought this from Kindness a short time ago. I had Kindness ship it directly to Guttermouth for a tune-up. In GM's words, it sounds "like a Blackface Bassman on steroids" now. I love the tone of this amp, but if I have to do a gig without PA support, it's just not enough horsepower for my needs.

It's in super condition, especially considering the age (1969 vintage). 150 watts, all tube. Freakishly clean inside and out. Zero issues that I know of. Every pot is clean and quiet, everything works pretty much like new.

I'd like to see $500 out of it, and I'll split shipping/packing costs with you. The way I'm going to ship it is that I'll pull the power tubes out and package them separately. I will use The UPS Store for packing, as they will guarantee it (and subsequently they don't haggle over claims as badly) against damage. Their materials, their packers. Yeah, it's more money, but it comes with a far better guarantee. :thumbsup:

Anyhow, here's some pics. I stole them from Kindness.

Looks like someone left it in a vacuum sealed vault for the past 41 years.

i don't have it handy (it's at the practice space), but i'm guessing about 24" wide by about 10" tall by about 12" deep, give or take a little.

not terribly heavy, maybe in the neighborhood of 40 pounds-ish?
