371 for sale in what seems to be mint condition

Yes, an excellent specimen. There seems to be a pattern of Acoustic amps availability on the east coast that surpasses what is advertised here on the west coast.
I'd need a warehouse if I kept finding Acoustic gear in this great condition.
East coasters, you're up!

Another example of the east coast plethora of Acoustic availability.

There's three 360 preamps and two 361 cabs available near me so I could possibly add to this East Coast availability if someone wanted to buy my 371 and 408 cab so I could get one of those 361 rigs.

I did a bad thing on Monday and bought a 150b that I totally don't need. I just couldn't take looking at the thing on Craigslist anymore. It was as if the thing was mocking me until I would finally come to my senses and rescue it from some schmuck that would rather play Markbass. It idles way too loud and the pot controlling the bass on channel two isn't working, but man does it sound killer with my 301 cab. I was surprised how similar it actually sounded to the 361 rigs I checked out a couple of weeks ago. I've owned many 2nd and 3rd gen Acoustics and I think they are all great, but the 1st gen ones sound a bit different and really have something special about them.

How much do they ask for a 360 preamp?

My bass corner in the middle of prepping my 406 Wide I acquired a few months back.
The lower original white dome woofer has developed some cone surround damage. No surprise for '76 vintage.

I've been re-enforcing it with rubber cement to see if I can get it to sing a few more times before re-conning.
This will be my first time gigging it and it's one of the largest outdoor stage setups of the year for me.

I think the recently purchased 320 in the pic will complete the rig that day.

It's not about volume that day. It'll be about hearing the amazing one of a kind tone filling the air like the song of an exotic & almost extinct creature... with a booming voice.

They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

I'm not a good test case, since I've benefited by being very patient and waiting sometimes years for once-in-a-blue-moon bargains and fixer-uppers.

I've seen 320's with an original foot switch go for even more than that in the last few years. Of course YMMV. A good 3rd generation 320 is harder to come by than the more common 370 which I see go in the $400-$500 range. Assuming we're talking US dollars.
