The Acoustic Club

earth shaking, foundation cracking, tooth filling loosener, glass rattling, pants leg flappin' goodness. Just got the 150 back from tech. Had to sacrifice my Gen II 150 (which was in worse shape) for parts.

Those 1st gen 150s are the most beautiful amps Acoustic ever produced. Only the 260 and 360 get close to that. I still have one laying around without a head case and with a non-functioning 2nd channel. I have too much stuff.

How much handles do you need Clint? I'm selling my 126 combo, but if someone gives the right price for the head alone, I might scavenge it for the white plastic band to fill up my 408, and can add the handles to the Eminence package

Oh yes and I bought a 470 yesterday... decided to let go a 220/406 though

Couldn't agree more!
I have two 150b's and a 150. I just can't stop accumulating them!

Wait, what?!?... this could be my holy grail.
Looking for 1-2 handles, but what interests me even more is if you may be selling the Emi from the 126.

I have three (!) 116 combos and two (!) 136 combos and only one of the five have the original 4 ohm Eminence driver. It would be either stamped with Acoustic number 130024 or 130068. The -68's typically have a brown/orange doped cloth surround instead of the usual black. I continue to hunt for original replacements but they are impossible to find.

Hopefully that is what you have in yours and it works out that we can get a deal together.

Send me a private message!

!
Yep. I have '71 150 & 150b , a dead '73 150 (now just a parts bin for my others), '73 370 (all transistors have been pulled / tested & values marked by tech, most are toast and he robbed 1 from it to fix the "71 150). Also just picked up a used GC Acoustic B200H head for $75. Had a B200 combo years ago and other than the build was shite, the amp kicked butt.

This was my first real rig, it wasn't mine. It was the guitar player's in my first real band, The Reef Aires :)
I miss that thing and that band.

I just realized, that was 45 years ago :jawdrop:

So you're the Geddy Lee of amp collectors?

My wife thinks I had spend too much time on my music room (me trying to install and use these amp). We're getting a divorce now. Not a joke unfortunately, some of these amps will come up for sale soon. That's life. Oh and that thing about flipping Marshalls, I made 900€ on flipping a single combo :o that's more or less what I paid for a 270, 330 and 220 together.

Sorry about the relationship @StingRay85
