1959 to M/V 2203 on Ebay

Post by yngwie308 » Tue Aug 30, 2011 8:58 pm

Anybody here build this amp, the moderator of the Malmsteen (Unofficial) forum bought this on ebay for just under $600. Looks to be quite awesome with any ally chassis, F&T's Sozo's, ect. MM trannys.

I suspect mentioning that an amp has been modded generally puts a lot of buyers off, even if it has a big name attached to it. The wiring on this is ok but would annoy me and have to be redone, not my personal taste in transformers either.

But I think he would have got much better price with more, better quality pictures and tidy stock amp (most people buying amps are not that savvy about mods and will not have the expertise to trouble shoot if they go wrong).
