The chassis is made of pure silver.?

What is wrong with it.?

Yeah..... this model Fender is not worth much money (compared to some of the others), even a BF in great condition. If it has been serviced with caps, 3 wire cord, all jack/pots cleaned/replaced, etc. etc..... You will have one of the worlds finest guitar amps. Does not take much effort to...

How about fixing your Sunn.?

The "speaker" shop does not have a speaker they can sell/loan you.?

Do you happen to live near me.? I have 3 cabs you can try (and they are for sale). ;) Best

Did I imply they were not Mike Mathews, Reflektor, New Sensor, Russian tubes....???:)

The original SED are good. Tung-Sol of all people are finally making good power tubes. Their 6L6 are good glass. TAD might be easy for you to get in Spain. Their 6L6, including the "short bottles", are as good as any modern day valve. The "real" danger with un-matched tubes, especially in an...

SS can scream into an open load. Tubes much prefer a short. Best

Modern day tubes are cheap. Buy 3 or 4 different brands and see what you hear/feel. Best

When I read "Practice Amp" I think of something that will sit in a room for most of its life.....like at somebody's house. I do not think of a studio or rehearsal space, but more like an amp you would use at home by yourself or to play with a piano or guitar player in a "casual" manner. That...

What did they do to the amp.? Could be a lot of things. Have the Elytics been changed in the last few decades.? Best

As explained above..... You picked the "best case scenario". It could have been much worse if you were plugged into a cab and the cable was pulled from the speaker end. If the amps sounds/plays fine, then you are OK. Best
