crez5150 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Been having a clear out in the studio..... hasn't been used for a while and probably needs new valves anyone have any idea on how to value? Cheers Edited January 30, 2012 by crez5150 Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Popular sort of amp so safe enough ebaying it. Probably do well to have it given a once over and sell working though. Quote
EBS_freak Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 70s Silverface in moderate condition with a bit of attention needed usually realise 500-600 quid. Quote
umph Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 either than or donate it to my new studio ;D Quote
crez5150 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1328003656' post='1520036'] 70s Silverface in moderate condition with a bit of attention needed usually realise 500-600 quid. [/quote] Cheers for that. It's exactly a 1970 model with silverface ) Quote
chris_b Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 The valves are probably ok, but the caps might need replacing. Switch it on and see what happens! Quote
3below Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Bump - No demand for these at all, very unpopular, not musical sounding at all and just not loud enough, however I could be persuaded to give it a home other than wife would kill me. Will be an excellent g**** amp for someone. Quote
chris_b Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I play with 3 guitarists who play vintage Fender Twin Reverbs and know several more who use one. I'd get it serviced for £50 which would add another £100 at least. Quote
crez5150 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 I'll check out the caps.... it's sounds like a valve on the way out..... sound breaks up pretty badly when guitar is played through it. Is there anyway of telling which valve it is likely to be? Sorry I'm not really up to speed on valve technology blimey looks like there is 12 valves in this thing.... might be expensive... :o0 Quote
joegarcia Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 If it's a 1970 than it will be worth slightly more than the later ones (like mine) with the pull out master volume. See if the master volume pot pulls out. I bought a 1975 one recently and the previous owner had had it for over ten years without realising it pulled out for drive. Quote
