Ampeg SVT3pro F/S

Hey Folks,
I've too many heads at the moment and as I'll hopefully be taking delivery of an Eden WT550 over the weekend something has to give. The wedding band I just joined is gigging plenty so I want a more modern Hi-fi sounding amp for that band.

I won't have pics until the weekend as it's at the studio so I'll be able to check the year etc then.
It's a "Made in U.S.A" version 450 watts into 4 ohms. The condition is very good indeed, no marks on the front and everything works as it should.
There was some slight low volume distortion with the head when I got it and upon research found out that this is common with the SVT3pro, the mosfets need biasing from time to time.

As a result I took the head to David Pye in Preston for a full service last month, (new tyres,oil and filter etc etc) and the mosfets were re biased to within 2mv of the recommended, (that's good btw) Whilst I was at It I also did partial re valve (3 out of the 5).
The head is now working really well, the tone is lovely and clear, no distortion what so-ever. It's just a tad on the heavy side for my 9 stone pissed wet thru' frame (especially in it's rack with added tuner, not inc).

I've gigged it a few times now and it's performed flawlessly, absolutely no issues with the head whatsoever.

These seem to go fro sale at around the £400 to £450 mark so I'll ask for £400 collected or plus £20 to ship it, fully insured, 1st class.
I'm happy to meet up within reason around the North West.
Cheers for looking.
