It's been a long wait. Got this "Variety Plus" amp early in 2010. It looks like this one:

Only in better condition. Not quite mint, but close. Mid 60s. 2x6L6, 35 watts or so. Valco made, has what sounds like a real pitch-shifting vibrato, plus a reverb tank under a false wooden floor. Jensen C12PS speakers, small magnet ceramics which sound ungodly good.
Took it to my tech for a checkover, new high/low gain switch, and to get the reverb working right. Whereupon chaos ensued for him (divorce, business troubles), so my amp just sat. He's an old friend. I have empathy, so made sure to acknowledge that while yelling at him. It's ready to go, so I'll have it by Friday. Can't wait ... it's like buying the same amp twice!!
