    For sale if my work horse RB 800. This thing is 20 years old. One of the knobs has been replaced. Still works. Shows signs of use for sure. If you're looking for that smoke free home studio amp keep looking. Not much else to say. With this much time on the amp it's sold as is. Local PU is great and you can try it out. In fact I perfer the cash local deal type of thing.

    I have one of this vintage. It still kicks butt anytime I ask. I've had it serviced once in 25 years, replaced a couple of caps. I wouldn't sell mine for less than $300. Someone should JUMP on this immediately. They are as close to bullet-proof as you can get.

    Wilsson, I never had the caps or anything done. I definatley got my money out of the amp. Looking back it wasn't the cheapest amp but on a dollar per year basis it was a bargin.

    Does it function fully? Any issues that aren't cosmetic? Where in jersey are you?
