He refused to take $800 citing the need for new tubes and speaker and the lack of a dreaded eBay transaction. When we were done only $600 left my pocket. A Weber 12F150, JJ 6V6's and GZ34, Tung-Sol 12AX7's and EH 12AT7's later, my $800 is gone and I don't think I could have spent it better.

I am filled with covetous lust.
