RH450 with broken knob, RC4 foot controller, cheap package deal

SOLD! Alright, I've enjoyed this amp quite a lot, but I've moved into full tube-amp land, so upon a shelf it sits. There are a couple of very small nicks in the finish (which I tried to photograph to the best of my limited, iPhone-wielding abilities), but the thing that really needs mentioning is the broken knob. While moving the amp from one room to another, I glanced the gain/comp knob against the door facing and it snapped off, clean at the face plate. Unwilling to pay TC Electronic's minimum work fee for a damn knob, I rigged up my own fix. The pot shaft is hollow, so I carved a piece of plastic to fit within the shaft, and it joins the knob and shaft together snugly (when installed, you can't tell it's broken by looking at it). The pot turns and functions normally, and the indicator LEDS are all fully functional, but the knob is still broken, so I'm disclosing as fully as I can. There are no other issues, and I have operated this amp for nearly a year since this happened without any problems.

However, due to this cosmetic issue, I'm selling this package dirt cheap: $550 paypaled and shipped in the lower 48. No original boxes, but all paperwork/manuals and such will be included. The only trades that interest me would be a fretless mahogany Kala U-Bass or a Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0-8T.

Two small nicks on top (about the size of a short pen mark--compare to the small red lettering near the bottom of the picture):


Another small nick on the bottom, near the handle:

When I inquired, I was told a flat fee of $150 for non-warranty RH450 repairs (which included return shipping). Whether that's changed or not, I couldn't say.
