NBD for me…. Greco SB-850 has landed…..
Do any of you fine gents have one of these (PF-50t)? I came across one for a really good price and am sorely tempted. I want a B15 but can't afford one and don't necessarily want the issues that old (unrestored) amps usually come with. Are these comparable at all to your ears?
(This one has the 2-10 cabinet, but if I get it I may at least try a 15, just to compare.)
@GonePlaid you aren't the only one trying to hide your artisanal SD TV collection under a sheet!
High compression JPG artifacts or up-rezing gone awry?
The P Pickup alone probably carries huge bottom end and I like the anachronistic firebird PG.
I'm unfamiliar but it looks interesting! If nothing else, I could buy the Ampeg, flip it, and put the extra money toward the next head.
Sweet! isn’t that the one SUzi Quatro used to play?
My brother bought a Ceriatone and is very happy with it. The Aunt Peg is supposed to be very true to the B15/B18 sound. Nick at Ceriatone is very responsive to questions and customizes to what you want.

That must have some serious 'scooped' sound/tne with such north/south pu placement!

Looks cool!
"Aunt Peg" (Ampeg) ... 
Speaking of which... I recently was gifted a 1960 Ampeg Amp Peg. (1960 was Ampeg's first year of production) It was an amplification system for a double bass. I've heard it didn't/doesn't sound that good, but it was the first attempt. It was stored in a cool old (same era) wooden fishing rod box. I'm now the third owner. I had to re-solder it (5th pic - easy) and it works. (basically old-style rotary phone parts with a volume pot!) Also had the original instructions and a copy of an advertisement. A little slice of history.

My son lived in Dallas and I have been there for work a number of times as well. It doesn't have much going for it. I suppose there's plenty if you live there and know where to go and what to do. But, it's not a hot spot for a reason.
little Relic...very cool!..Looks cool!
