If I had to guess how many hours they've been used, I would say 200 hours. They are in tremendous shape cosmetically and sonically. Oddly, I am putting the amps up for sale despite just finishing some spring upkeep/upgrades. I had just sent the amps in to Paul Fargo (Manley's tech) for a check up. Obviously he said everything was perfect, I'm a bit OCD and it wasn't called for. I also used Deoxit Cleaner and Gold Rejuvinator on all of the contacts. I sold the power cords and EL84s on Ebay.
So the amps do not have power cords or EL84 tubes! These monoblocks only come with the Ei 12AT7 and 6414 vacuum tubes included (which have 200 hours on them).
The boxes, instructions, and receipt are included. Manley built those boxes very well, so you don't have to worry about them being shipped. FedEx also is the best shipper by far, with very reasonable prices to boot.I will also include (
black Audio Selections support discs (adhesive backing still unused).
Hopefully I've explained all I have needed to. Feel free to ask information, request more photos, etc.. As for my personal accountability, I have been on Ebay for years.

MANLEY INFO:
These cute little guys produce around 40 watts RMS in Ultra-Linear mode or around 20 watts in TRIODE from a quartet of EL84 / 6BQ5 tubes driven by a 6414 dual triode driver and a 12AT7EH input dual triode. The EL84 has been one of our very favorite tubes for many years, extremely long lasting and reliable, and can be considered the smaller brother of the much beloved EL34: really quick-sounding both in the bass and especially in the top end. And of course this has a lot to do with our Manley Output transformer, the same one we build for the Manley Stingray.
We have been building EL84 amplifiers for well over a decade. The Manley-branded Tiny Triodes were much acclaimed in the early 1990's. In 1993 after the Manley company split off from VTL, the Manley Tiny Triodes underwent a chassis rework to become the Manley 35 watt Monoblocks soon followed by the 50 Watt Monoblocks. The more powerful Ultra-Linear mode operation became the standard with hard-wired Triode operation or Triode/UL switching available upon special request.
After the introduction of the Stingray Integrated amplifier in 1998, we then went back and incorporated the Stingray's new circuitry design refinements into the 50 Watt Monoblocks. Finally, big bass out of a small amplifier! So, topology-wise, the post-1998 50 watters were the monoblock version of the stereo Stingray, with the additional variable feedback feature. After the introduction of the fabulous Manley Snappers in 2002, it was obvious that we had to update our classic EL84 50 watt monoblocks both cosmetically and feature-wise. Make-over time!
Everyone was always asking us for Triode/Ultra-Linear switching. We listened to ya and put on the Triode-UL switch as standard for the new MAHI's. As are the beautiful german WBT binding posts. Also we increased the B+ rail capacity in a major way. The 50 Watt monos only had around 45 Joules or energy storage in the B+ rail. Now the MAHI's have nearly 115 Joules of energy storage for the B+ rail. You can hear this improvement in the especially in the bass region: tighter, faster, deeper. More is more in this case.
The chassis design is like a mini-Snapper. They are so cute! And of course they come standard as a pair so you get.... "Mahi-Mahi."
We believe the MANLEY MAHI's give a lot of value for an affordable price and we think you will be surprised at just how big these little guys sound.

Will Scratch Your Floor: Use pennies under pointed feet to avoid marring cabinetry. Try quarters if you are in upper tax brackets. The bargain performer would be nickels. Paper currency does not function as well. Euro coins work 1.54 times better. Concrete pavers or wooden chopping blocks serve fine for amplifier platforms.
