Just Arrived!

Hey guys,
look what that nice UPS fella just brought me...

1977 all original, sounds like a dream. All for a LOT less than a new RI... Offa the eBay...

I'm in Tele heaven right now...

Best of luck with it. I hope to have the same eBay luck one day...

Yep - smokin' deal huh? It had a few cobwebs in the back... was a bit dusty. I cleaned it up a bit, turned it on, let it warm up a bit, then plugged in and oh am I a happy boy now... Oh yeah!! I'll take it to my local amp tech at the weekend - for a once over but it all looks and sounds great to me!

Your patience was rewarded, it would seem. Great deal....great looking amp.
Congrats. While the rest of us slept, you crept in and stole that one, imo.

Congratulations Blues Boy !

You got the amp I have dreamt of for over 20 years

I first saw that very model used by the guitarist in a local blues band ( my first introduction to the blues) around 1979/1980. What a chillin' sound

Good man !
