Price $2000.00 In great shape with upgraded Cardas RCA and Speaker posts, 2 small scraches on top, can see in pic. Has been in storage since upgrade by vintage amp repair, maybe 4 hours on it. C
Prefer local pick up in so Cal. Irvine area, can demo. Can ship but price will be ridiculous, would need to build crate plus shipping cost at buyer's expense. Cash or Paypal via friend or you cover the 3%
