[quote name='umph' post='675750' date='Dec 6 2009, 04:12 PM']the mark3's aren't a touch on the mark2's build wise. i'd go for it if you have the cash it's only going to be worth more in a few years if orange don't run themselves into the ground[/quote] Hi thanks for the advice. I ended up buying it without regrets so far. I'm in the process of checking the bias on the 6550 tubes of this AD200B mk2. It currently reads 26mA on tube1 and 24mA on tube 3. On the inside the guys at orange wrote: "BIAS PIN 5 -50V". By trying to measure the voltage between pin 5 of a tube and ground I don't get that values. I'm surely measuring on the wrong point. Any clues? Thanks! Alessandro

I'm currently thinking about buying an [b]Orange AD200B Mk2[/b], one of those 100 hand built "point to point" by the custom shop before the release of the PCB built MK3. The amp is in very good conditions but the seller is asking [b]1750 £[/b] for it, which is IMHO too much even considering the collectible value. Does anybody remember the selling prices of new mk2's at the time of their production (about until 2006 i think)? Consider that a new mk3 (pcb built, not hand made) goes now for less than 1300 £. Could anybody please give some opinion / advices? Thanks for you help! Cheers, Alex
