warwickhunt Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Bit of a lazy morning so I'm trawling eBay. A classic eBay sale which you can shoot so many holes in that it'd be transparent. Where do you want to start with this 20 watt solid state valve amp from the 70's worth £625+?

waynepunkdude Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 "Dear sir/madam Just to clarify this is not a valve amp it is clearly solid state also it is much more likely from the 80's than the 70's. May I also suggest you may want to lower your starting price in this climate you could but an Ampeg all valve SVT 600W for the same price and get change.
