My unit (all details at the beginning of this thread) was modified when I got it. The owner had the bright idea to upgrade the speaker and the wiring. Luckily, he had all the original parts and I paid an authorized Ampeg dealer to put them back. He even put the original speaker back in the...

Wow! This is incredible info. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats! This unit, in this condition, for $900, is the score of a lifetime! Even though our units came from different runs (your unit is from the second manufacturing run of 100; mine is from the first run of 50) they appear to be IDENTICAL. The third run of 250 (the one with the black head...
