I think you might be right suicide ride. thats alot of moola for a old sweep tube amp. whats so great about it.????? is it well made ?, does 2k watts?? am i missing something.?? i got a 1 drivin 2 drivin 6 vintage sweep tube amp. maybe i can get 2 grand out of it on ebay.

It had to have been a bidding war. Even if the amp was NOS - NIB w/ 100%+ tubes & 9 extra NIB spare tubes, I wouldn't think it would sell for more than $500-$600.

I would be having bidder's remorse right about now, had I bid $500 but can't even imagine the feeling after bidding $1999!!

Man you had the ears pinned back on that one didnt ya?

 

[bioman]

LOL

it's just a "parts amp" the only thing any good in it is the transformers.....

i might build another tube audio amp using the transformers out of it someday

 

[airplane1]

You could rebuild it just for fun. that is some big power though. LOL

 

[bioman]

more power than i'd need or want...........

it's probably beyond my capabilities anyhow....i dont know NEAR enough about RF amps
