I just picked this up on Monday night. I love it! The pots were so dirty that it was difficult to try and the guy didn't have a footswitch so I didn't get to hear the clean sound. A little DeoxIT took care of that. Although the tubes seem good, it's way behind on maintenance (original filter caps) and still has some occasional erroneous noises. Fortunately, I love working on amps like these.

It's in great original shape. I love the faded grill cloth!

I used to think DeoxIT was expensive, but after getting an '86 Rat for $30 on Saturday and this amp for $550 and then making them both sound great with the stuff, it's actually pretty cheap!

Very nice- I would love to find one of those. Covers so much ground- but I wouldn't wait too long to get to those caps and check it out.

I agree. I'm on it.

That's probably going to be an issue for me. It's "only" 52 pounds but I'm not young any more.
