    Hello all,

    Well here you have it, one close to mint Trace Elliot V8 for sale. Tiny scuff in the tolex on one side as seen in the picture.

    For what itÂ’s worth all tubes (original Ruby's) test strong in my mercury tube tester. The amp is extremely powerful and putting the master to more than 30% is unnecessary.

    Amplifier comes with original manual, manual amendment, and warranty card (which was not filled out by the original owner).

    As you know, these are hard to come by especially in this condition. Who knows if one will ever come up for sale again.

    I reserve the right to take this amazing amp off the market at any time just in case I come back to my senses.

    [DEL]$4799[/DEL] $4649 local pickup. I'm willing to ship this. Also, I could meet any interested parties in Niagra Falls.

    Could it be??

    The one.........the only............the elusive..........the mighty TE V8?

    These are so rare that even the CIA won't admit to their existence (and certainly not one in such mint condition as this one).

    Free bump for the amp that occupies the king's throne of bass amplification!

    And GLWTS!

    Are the V-Type heads that look a lot like this a rare item as well?

    You'll see V6's and V4's from time to time, but not V8's. The TE V8 is the Holy Grail (and if you look at my avatar, you'll realize that I know a thing or two about Grails). :)

    My wife has been telling me it's about time that I visit my '91 year old Grandmother in Toronto. I now fully agree with her.

    Might be time for a fire sale.

    You should definitely visit your grandmother and my V8 :D

    But the question remains, who would you be more excited to see?

    Well, this thing is hardly used. Perhaps its time for someone else to enjoy the holy grail of bass amplification.

    I would love to have this, but couldn't afford it at half the price. :-(

    But, I am curious, how much does it weigh?

    She comes in at 66lbs. Not bad for 400 watts rms of pure tube tone.

    ...a perfectly normal response to seeing a mint TE V8 for sale.
