Already ended. Was that you?

These are very nice, I have the 30W 99J. I believe the 66J was 15-20W. I know some have them, hopefully they'll chime in.

No I am buying it though

My '63 is wonderful...ask Default! Until I found this board, I though I had the only one in the world...

Mine is 5Y3 - (2) 6V6GT - (3) 12AX7 I think Steve is more conversant on what the tube topology on yours is...

6v6's are God's gift to the guitarist, someone said once. It should (should) be just like Bill's. Let us know when it gets in!

Looks identical to mine. Says 66j on top and master amp on the front...mine came w the original cover and I somehow found the original wooden one-button footswitch, from someone else, the same week I bought the amp...crazy, I know...

my amp needs the works. Caps, pots cleaned, grounded 3 prong cable and a new speaker or refurbished original speaker. With that said, the few times I have plugged into it as is...I seem to go straight into auto pilot and the thing sounds amazing, even in the shape it's in ("wow that is ME playing???")

as as for the tone, it is tough to toss amp tone around online...it just needs to be heard. It is the tweedy cream though, no doubt. killer!

After further communications with the owner I decided to pass on it. I think he is going to relist on ebay.

Sent ya an email, Dave.

Relisted with a BIN of $550. Sounds like he isn't taking any chances.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the amp. I just decided to go with a modern amp. I already have a few vintage gibsons.
