So I had a discussion with the owner, he doesn't want to lower the asking price, which is $ 3500. He wants to wait till somebody comes around and buys it as is. I wished him good luck. Thanks for all of your inputs and guidance.

Thanks for all your inputs. The current owner is asking premium price since the amp is in great condition, talked to him about the changed OT. He was not aware and I believe him. He bought it from the original owner about 20 years ago. For collectors I think it is a big issue even though the...

I am looking for some advice/ inputs from you guys. I just got offered a really nice '66 Pro Reverb in remarkable condition, it is a 9.75 out of 10. All original except the output transformer. The current owner bought it 20 years ago from the original owner. It seems like the original owner had...

Sorry, yes correct it stands for Rock Phonix. Of course I still own these amps, I will never part with them. Regarding clips, it is always hard to understand why these amps are special. I posted some clips I think at Amp Garage when I got my first RP. The comments were, yeah sounds like a...

Thanks, your name sounds familiar ;)

I started guitar when I was 10 or 11, I am 65 now. My older cousin was my major influence at that time, he was into Cream, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin etc. But one record he had the biggest impact for me, that record changed everything and I wanted a guitar real bad. That record was by Taste, Live...
