redstriper Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 It looks in excellent condition. I had the same model in 1979 bought new in '77 for £450, which is probably about 3k in today's money. Quote
4-string-thing Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 This looks like a very good buy! I bought my 220 head and 404 cab new in 1980 for £420 (about 2 months wages, for a poor apprentice electrician, I guess) and it has never, ever let me down, apart from blowing a fuse once after being stored in my parents garage for a couple of years! I bought a nice 2x15 cab and non working 120 head on ebay last year for £52! I'm hoping to get the head repaired soon. IMO, you really can't beat this Acoustic stuff and I'd be really interested in hearing if anyone has tried the new stuff they're producing. Quote
JPJ Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I can remember oggling some awesome Acoustic stacks in Kitchens Music in Newcastle as a spotty teenager. I'd be interested in trying some of the new stuff if it ever makes it over here. Quote
Thornybank Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 There was one in Adtrader for MONTHS at £250. It was the lift... ...adn the fact that it is louder than legal for 'most anyfink Sweet Quote
4-string-thing Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 there was someone selling one of these combo's a while back, started out asking £350, after a few weeks was offering it to me for £100, he was moving house and didn't fancy taking it with him! Wasn't in great nick, and funds were a bit tight at the time.... Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Wanna make an offer for mine? Looks like my rig might be moving back in with me for a bit, could do with freeing up some room. Quote
