Background on this rare prize.
This amp was a trade between Randell Smith/ Mesa and myself at Randell Reseach audio cable company in 1984. Randell Smith called us at Randell Research. We were recognized as a top of the line audio cable product in high end audio. He wanted to use our cable inside the Mesa Barron home amp. I had wanted a Boogie for years. We quickly reached a deal to trade cable for a amp. His amp went in our show room and our cable made it to his Barron. Good marketing for both. I did not ask for a particular model. Im sure he gave me this as a extra sweet unit, every whistle and bell.
The high end audio changed to tv sound and real high end audio collapsed. I had a real job , no time to play, so it sat covered in the corner for 40 years. Thus, original tubes, and bright wood cabinet.
The only thing changed from Day One Original is the Randell Research O2 free teflon dielectric speaker cable. (And Mike's maintenance). I will through in a set factory sealed 1984 Randell audio cables and my business card. Near Petaluma,
I could deliver in western usa. Would need to work out a transaction plan.
