Quick intro to me....
32, M, Washington UK, friendly, here for advice and help. I'll return the favour if I can
I need some help with an amp I have. Sorry if this isn't posted in the correct place.
I have in my possession a good old 70's (possibly very late 60's) tube combo loaded with celestion a. One G12-80 and the other a G12-125. Clearly one has been changed at some point....
The issue I have is the amp had a bit of a mains hum when I got it. I used it rarely for a few weeks when it went off. I've been told that there is a high chance some/all of the smoothing caps have gone. Easy fix...
I sent a lot of pics of the amp to a guy at blueberry pie amps and he seemed pretty up beat about it. He's called John and mega helpful guy.
The fact the amp has gone off isn't really a concern to me as I want to sell it anyway. Even as it stands.
Now, I have been told a few prices as to what it could be worth even as it stands. But, I just need a few more opinions before I commit to any of the offers I've already had....which is a few surprisingly. I won't kiss and tell, I just need more advice from you lovely ppl.
Now for the amp info:
It carries the name 'Little Rock' and made by 'White Amplification' for a store in Sunderland waaaay back when. It's stamped '120watts' but I'd assume. It's 100watts. I was told Matamp had something to do with 'white amplification' back in the day but they have said that this particular amp must be before their models.
I have also been told they were copies of Orange Amps with maybe a hint of Marshall thrown in. The tone was killer before it stopped working! I loved it but had nowhere to keep it so it sat in a cupboard....and still does.
It's pretty beat up and hasn't been looked after so is in a bit of a state. Suppose it adds to character.
I can provide any pics that anyone may need to get an idea of it.
Could anyone tell me it's possible value so I can sell it? Maybe?
I'm not expecting fortunes but I'm not expecting my pants to be pulled down over the price either...
Are the drivers worth anythin? What do you think the amp is worth? Would any of you be interested in buying it
Let me know what pics you would need and I'll get them posted.
Thanks for any help you can give so I maybe pass this little but heavy gem on.
Cheers
