Mr. Foxen Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 These are pretty rare, so rare I only have two. This is the in better condition of the two, was merely neglected rather than beat, so it cleaned up well. I've loaded it with 6550 taken out of my Matamp (as put in by Matamp, which I guess is a recommendation), seems happy on these, although should have KT88, I assume it runs them pretty easy due to the 150w part. anyway, passive preamp, not the MKIV one with the undeserved bad rep, the other one is my favourite amp at current, which is a position with a lot of competition (Matamp doesn't have it due to being a slave). I've also replaced the electrolytic filter caps, and uprated them, for a bit more headroom in the lows.

Pentode Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Oh God, please somebody buy this...... This must sound just epic!
Neuroscar Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Trade for a B120 MKIV one plus cash at my side? Also, how do you manage to keep it in such a clean condition? Especially its leather.

[/quote] Lemme check my amp pile see if I need a B: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/Edinburgh%20amps/DSCF0049.jpg[/IMG] Hmmm, reckon I'm good. Haven't had it for very long, the thick coral like crust of filth that was on it seems to have preserved it pretty well.
Pow_22 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Purely out of interest how does the amp compare size-wise to the 120's?
Mr. Foxen Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Appears to be the exact same box, different chassis.
Mr. Foxen Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 On Ebay, much cheaper BCer price still applies here: http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&SortOrder=ASCEND&GotoPage=2&SellingNext.Filter=All&View=SellingNext&Column=EndTime&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextAllSelling&ssPageName=STRK:ME:PAGE&StoreCatFilter=0&SubmitAction.ChangePage=x&FormatFilter=AllFormat#GoTo315
Mr. Foxen Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 Coupla days left on this, would really rather sell via BC, totally don't want to ship overseas if I can help it. Need enough notice to pull it mind.
ShergoldSnickers Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Used to have a 120 in the mid to late 70s, and like a lot of others, I wish I'd hung onto it. If I win the Lottery I'll PM you tomorrow. This is not a comment on the price asked, which is a steal of bargain basement proportions knowing the care and attention that you put into these amps - but more a comment on my finances. 'Tis a stunner of an amp.
Mr. Foxen Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 Might have a 200w project on the way, this selling would be a neat way of funding it (in give me some space to put it).
Mr. Foxen Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 Bump. Wanna lose duplicates, and fund some more interesting amp restorations.
Pow_22 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Out of interest (and for a free bump) what is the amp in your 'stack' picture, 2nd one down on the right. That silver grill cloth head would look great sat on my bassman cab, shame i love my B120 so much at the moment
Mr. Foxen Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 Laney Klipp, that one is sold, but I have one I'm selling for a mate sat here. And a one in need of a new transformer sat with Umph. They are pretty guitary though, have a distortion channel and such.
Neuroscar Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Hey im sorry for the offtopic but maybe you've heard or found somewhere of a way to "upgrade" a sound city head to more watt power? I would like some more headroom for my 120! =)
Mr. Foxen Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 Watt's mean not much in the scheme of things, what is it you are lacking? Your lack of headroom is unlikely to be in the 'watts'. The best way to get more watts is to buy the 150.
Mr. Foxen Posted December 8, 2011 Author Posted December 8, 2011 This one sold. The new Matamp is tempting me, as can use it as a pre for my slave, and keep it all Matamp, whilst still having the lightweight option. So other one is up for sale at same price, scruffier, but works as well, with KT88s in it: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/SC1502.jpg[/IMG]
