These absolutely rock and are becoming more and more sought after as the years go on. You’ll not find a sound like this, and a build quality to this extreme, in many amplifiers!This is no exception to the rarity and build-quality of these favored 120s.  Product Details  Serial Number: 6543 Watts: 120 watts  Impedance: 4, 8, 16 ohms  Power Valves: 6x EL34 (mixture of Mullards and other brilliant 70s valves)   Transformers: Partridge Voltage Selector: 105v - 205v Selector  Service History  We pride ourselves on the inspection, authentication, and service of each amplifier to UK standards and regulations.  Please note that it is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all amplifiers as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the amplifier is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the amplifier in more depth upon receiving. The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.  Cosmetic Inspection This is in good condition. It is by far perfect but is in good condition for it's age.  Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.      Originality  In our opinion, the important parts of this amplifier are original, with a few internal components changed. Two of the knobs on the front have been changed, and the back panel has been lost in the past and is now sporting a wire mesh.  Summary  Overall, this is a very rare and collectable amplifier. Not only is this sure to increase in value year on year, but also it can be an enjoyed investment.  You're more than welcome to come along and have a play on this, coupled with one of our vintage guitars!  Where else but at The Music Locker!  If you click and buy through eBay, please pay (or make contact) with us within 24 hours, in order to let us know your payment plan.
