    Wow, going wayyyyyy back. I bought this thing new in.....89 maybe. I can't say this thing is in perfect condition. There's basically two problems. One is that of all the outputs on the back only one works. It's the mixer out jack. It's one of the 1/4 outs and it works fine to run into a power amp. Used it that way for years. Actually the ballanced three prong output might work but I don't know. Never used the FX send or returns so I can't coment on those. The other problem is that the limiter doesn't seem to work. It's got a yellow led that just comes on and stays on. In the past when I was looking at the wiring schematics and researching the problem I thought the two problems might be related. There's actually a thread here at TB where I believe they might even discuss this problem because I think it's common. If I remember right the fix was a fairly cheap trasistor chip of somekind. I allways thought this thing sounded great and actually neither problem ever kept me from using it. I just want to make it clear that it has problems and it would be perfect for a guy that know's how to fix it or somebody who could get it to a repairman. I also have the footswitch that allows you to change to either chanel. This amp does not have the billy sheehan mod. I think I even have the manual. I'm letting this go for 175@ plus shipping. Like I said it's completely possible to use this the way it is but it does need some repair to make it work like it was designed. As you can see there's a little rash on the bottom of it and there's some crusty's in the xlr output. The face and top are just about perfect though.
    Here's the pics.

    I figured you were one of the guys that knew how to fix it.
