The logistics are currently beyond me unfortunately, alongside probably needing to buy 4x new KT88 tubes for it (at close to £200 again).

Seems someone from the Trace Elliot Facebook group was less worried about the drive:

Oops, 2x10 also came up for £40 on facebook yesterday, right off my commute home... just need to come up with a suitable excuse for the gear abstinence thread... but I didn't know my 4x10 was even expecting a baby?

So just seen this in the market place as the seller just dropped his price. The connundrum is I think it is still over-priced by a fair bit, but the gentlemanly side of me thinks I shouldn't say anything unless giving an offer myself, and thus he should be free to get the best price he can... I stuck a picture from the facebook listing underneath.

That is close enough for me to consider.  I don't have that sort of money right now and I'm not gigging.  Apart from that...

 

I hope the seller gets a fair price.  It looks well looked after.

It's a sweet rig and similar to mine. I really like the GP12 head, probably my favourite TE head, and if it was closer would put in an offer - the heads go for a max of £300 on their own, although I'm holding out for something around the £200 mark closer to me.

This thread is really doing me no favours.

 

Getting very interested in the idea of a nice old trace head, mounted in a new lightweight sleeve partnered with a modern high power 12" cab (X2)
