| | | it always costs at least $400 to ship an amp don't you know? (if that was an iron butterfly amp it would be different...)
all I can think of to add is : "More power to ya, knock yourself out, good luck, and godspeed."

There are white ones that are in the neighborhood, but have different issues. I once bought a 370 that had 2 original sliders on it. I took those off and put them on my other 370 to complete the missing ones on it. I then sold the 370 with no sliders. That's how hard original and correct ones are to find. Of course, I'm pretty much a purist. Black ones work as well as the white ones, just not correct for the 370. $100 is high, but if they're what you need......
