The amp was serviced this year by a local amp builder. The resistor mod was done so that the amp doesn't get loud so quickly and the volume increase is more linear. (I'm usually between 10-12 on the dial now instead of 8-10. The driver tube socket was replaced and a new LED installed. Solder reflow to all the primary contact points. The amp will be fragile packed and tubes will be boxed separately. This sale is CONUS and I cover shipping and PP fees. No trades.

The amp will come with two wood bases. The stock as well as the custom base seen in this photo. Made with Ash and Walnut inlay as the accent color. This base is heavy at four pounds.
