Beautiful vintage-inspired shape with real cherry slats on top.

Tubes:
Have tried many tubes in this.  The the golden lion genalex kt 66 reissues are the best of power tubes of all vintage and modern production I've tried. Also, the vintage RCA 12bh7a's sound better than any 12au7 I've tried. Vintage tungsol 12ax7's included were my favorites of many tried in this amp.

Additional info:
Volume pot is a little scratchy when moved, but fine when in place. Have an expensive ALPS blue velvet replacement on hand (included), just haven't installed. 4 selectable inputs.  4 and 8-16ohm outputs.  Out of 20 or so tube amps I've had this is my fav. Just have moving expenses and need to sell.

Will take off $100 for local pickup - it's heavy! (Pittsburgh/Harrisburg/Baltimore).  It's already $50 off the 'gon price for ACers.

Ahh, missed most important detail - $800 or $700 for AC members who are local.
