Price dropped to £1600

This the real thing. 1974, or possibly a bit earlier, SVT head. 6550 square black line model. Cosmetically what you'd expect, lived in but not trashed. Very much a vintage vibe.

Early 90's 810. The last of the low power handling cabs (350W). Much more efficient (108 dBA/W/m) than the later 800W and 1600W cabs which were pointless because what they gained in handling, they more than lost in efficiency. And they lost the punch due to the heavier coil/cone assemblies. Not prepared to split because these 810s are quite rare and suit the amp far better than later ones. A few black Gaffa repairs to the vinyl on the back.

Been reliable for 20 odd years. Struck fear in punters, landlords and guitarists throughout the SW London blues circuit for that time. Recapped around then. Hasn't required or had any attention since so could probably do with a pre-emptive service.

The original SVT is a totally different proposition to SVT2s or Classics, though I can't speak for the VR. What does Norman Watt Roy prefer? I think you know.

Going because I'm heading towards 60 and it's a bit heavy and because I'm not gigging much

.......just joking. Pickup only from Hampton Hill, SW London.
