And saying an amp was “gone through” doesn’t tell you much. You may have to spend. To ensure the tubes, pots, caps, inputs, effects etc. Even then – how. Does 50 years of bar-room filth make you fear typhoid if you fish around inside the cab? Is it structurally sound? What hidden component is “just about” to go bad? It’s all about. Crazy attention to detail. I love this stuff. And hope it shows. Here’s my process. One of the Southeast’s top vintage techs inspects every component. He’s extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Our policy: if a component cap, tube etc. May need repair in the next few years, we’ll fix or replace it. If not, leave it be. I have other experts I consult with as well. I give a detailed report on the condition and any work I’ve done. I provide numerous high-res photos. I answer all questions in a straightforward manner. For serious buyers only! If something ain’t right – I fix it! I spare no effort or cost to pack the gear VERY carefully. I remove, label and bubble wrap power tubes. Make sure nothing is loose inside the cab. Heavy bubble wrap, then a generous layer of peanuts on all sides. I reuse packing to save the planet! I provide detailed instructions to reinstall the tubes and any other details needed. If something goes wrong, we’ll work it out. Want my opinion on the differences in speakers to put in a blackface or fliptop? Or the difference between blackface models? Tilt legs, grill cloth, tolex? Call me, I will be happy to share what I have learned! You can own a killer vintage amp without rolling the dice. I work hard to get it right and treat people fairly.
