Trace Elliot sale value

Hopefully this is the right place to post this....

I've got a darn lovely Trace Elliot GP1115 combo that I rehoused not so long ago. Just this weekend I had it back from a good servicing, with resistors, diodes, fuses etc being serviced and/or replaced, so it runs like a beaut.

I was just looking to find how much you all think the value of this would be, should I come to sell it etc?

Photos are below.

Before:


After (now):


Head is a GP11, and speaker is a Trace Elliot 15", combining to give 150w.

I can't find any decent (read:accurate) info online, and I'm reeallly not sure of the year...I think its something like a 1984 one. Perhaps you could all help me with that too? As I'm sure there are a LOT more experienced TE owners amongst us! (and probably someone who has owned/currently owns this same amp).

Cheers :)

Unfortunately the answer is not as much as they should be worth

parker_muse has been trying to sell his early original GP7 4x10" combo for yonks now and has reduced it down to stupid money [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120944&hl=trace"]here[/url]

I managed to sell my 1110 which was the 4x10" version of yours for £360 a couple of years ago but I think I was lucky to have someone looking for exactly what I was selling at the right price. You used to be able to take your combo to Trace and they would add a speaker out jack to it so that you could run it with a second cab. Mine had that, a preamp out and a poweramp in or something like that.

This was mine:




I think yours looks fantastic and would have it in a minute.

I saw that 4x10 as I was browsing through the Trace Porn thread, and noticed I think it's exactly the same head as mine.

It gives a beautiful tone to be fair :) And its really boomy! It's now something like 3rd in line in terms of rigs though. Not that I DO want to sell it, I've just never known the value as I salvaged it from a pub many a year ago. They were throwing ALL the gear out that was there, including loads of PA speakers, light etc. This was amongst it!

It was in an absolute state when I had it, so I set about restoring it (sort of!), thus building a new cab for it, tolexing it etc all myself. So sentimentally, its worth a lot to me.

I keep coming back to this thread. I very rarely look at something as mudane as an amp or a cab and think about how good it looks but, damn that does look really good.

I said it earlier but I would have it in a minute, even if I only ended up using it in the house.
