    SOLD

    Traynor YBA200, upgraded to YBA200-2 specs at factory*
    -200 watts
    -All tube
    -4 and 8 ohm switchable
    -Has the Eurotubes Upgrade Kit with four JJ KT88's and two JJ 12at7's for greater clean headroom. Less than 20 hours on the tubes.
    -A few very minor rubs on the tolex, but no tears or gashes.
    -I added vintage style aluminum-capped, white-lined, set-screw knobs that are much easier to see onstage. I will include or reinstall the original black push-on chicken head knobs at your request.
    -Will ship in Traynor-supplied box with insurance and delivery confirmation.
    Here's a chance to get a great "winged" logo YBA200 with new tubes and all the upgrades of a new YBA200-2!

    $525 shipped. I accept Check or Money Order. No Paypal. I will travel around Chicagoland for an in-person cash deal.

    *A bit of history:
    This amp was upgraded to YBA 200-2 specs by Yorkville/Traynor in 2008. The upgrade entails switching out the original problematic (if a tube supernovas, the resistor fries out part of the circut-board) fixed bias with the new-spec adjustable bias. They also rebiased the amp for the JJ KT88's at that time. A receipt from Yorkville/Traynor noting this upgrade will be included with the amp.

    Ah-Bumpa! These amps with good KT-88's (read: ANYTHING but the stock Sovtek's!) are total sleepers. You can buy and mod 3 of these for one so-so Orange AD-200. Totally under-rated. And at $525- whatta freakin' deal..............

    Nice job with the aftermarket knobs - way better than the factory setup!

    PM responded and I, just updated the ad. I forgot to mention that I don't accept Paypal. Check, MO, or in-person cash deal on this one. Sorry about any confusion.

    Got some interest, but no commitments yet. Midweek bump.

    don't suppose you'd want to trade for an aguilar db659...

    Tempting -and I don't even have a standalone power amp- but unfortunately I need cash for this one.
