what kind of Ampeg is this>>>>>?

[strozey]

Longtime lurker first time poster, and I need some help IDing this ampeg amp. OK so the story goes; I'm at a recent yard sale where I asked the guy if he had any musical equipment and he rolls out this SKB 5 rack rolling case with a SansAmp RBI bass pre amp, Furman power supply, Korg tuner, and he says $400 bucks for it all - the kicker is that he said he'd throw in an unknown kind*(he had stickers over the model name) of Ampeg power amp with a 9 band eg * see pic (that "needs servicing" and "if you can get it to work would be a great deal" - his words)

My questions to some of you better versed tech guys is:

What kind of Ampeg is it? What would you recommend as the most cost effective/reliable avenues for having it repaired? Ampeg?

Is this is a good buy for $400 considering I'll have to spend $xxx to repair the ampeg?



I guess I'm just wondering if this is a serious deal and just grab it and sort it out, or if my money would be better spent elsewhere on another product....

Any ideas? Suggestions? anyone want to throw me a bone? * thats the ampeg on the bottom

i say grab it. the sans amp is worth something and so its the korg and you could probably make the money back on the ampeg if you really had to.

thanks guys not a lot of info on this model, I seem to get hits for the SVT-III and SVT -3Pro which look to be diff amps than the SVT-IIIPro

The IIIPro and the 3Pro are the same amp, just renamed. The SVT III is different and older. The amp in the picture is a mid 90's SVT III Pro. It looks like my old one, which was a POS.

Yeah, I had one from that era and it wound up dying on me. Could have been user error. That being said, I loved it's tone.

The issue may have been that I didn't realize the difference between speaker cables and instrument cables .
