I bought this from another TBer for a project that fell through... after I picked up a Big Al 5 SSS.
It appears to be in good shape with a few exceptions; it is missing the nuts/washers for the output jack and the two switches. The split shaft of the volume pot has been glued after one side of the "split" apparently separated. The pot appears to still function properly, however the knob now has a slight eccentric rotation due to the slightly offset shaft. It had some copper tape on the shaft when I bought it. I found out why the tape was there after I pulled it off and found the shaft had been repaired.
These currently sell for $340 new so I'm asking only $180 given it's current condition.
