Reluctantly selling my early 70's Ampeg SVT head. I bought this amp and gigged out with it for a couple of years in the early-to-mid 2000's. It's been in storage since 2005, so I figure it's time to let it go to someone who will get more use out of it. I turned it on EXTREMELY briefly after taking it out to verify that it still powers up, but due to its having been in long-term storage, I don't want to do any more than that for fear of damaging the filter caps. (I imagine after sitting for 13 years it should probably have the caps replaced.) The amp had a relatively new set of Sovtek power tubes and a new hum balance installed shortly before I put it away. This amp was in good working order when I mothballed it, but I'm selling it as-is due to the amount of time it spent powered off. (I would advise bringing it to a competent tech to have it powered back up for regular use.)The amp will be carefully double boxed, + I will pull, number, and individually wrap the power tubes for shipping. (Local pick-up also offered in or near Portland, Maine.)Please feel free to message me with any questions.Thanks for looking!
