Mesa Boogie mk IIc+, 9/84, original factory made. With all original 6L6 GC str415 and tungsram 12ax7 mesa tubes, reverb, eq, 60/15 watt simil class, export transformer, Mesa Black Shadow spker, red padunk cabinet/wicker, cover. Just returned from Mike Bendinelli at Mesa Boogie in Petaluma for check up( 6/17/2024). He replaced some electrolytic caps, and cleaned the reverb tank( see factory notes). It has remained sealed / boxed from Mike/Mesa. I will let Mike Bendinelli's words and pictures speak for the amp.
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.
$14,000,
Shipping approx. $400.

Still need pics, papers, your suggestions very welcome.
Thank you for your help.

I recognize that to be 1317 Ross St in Petaluma.

That is in Petaluma CA, at Mesa Boogie service office. The amp had been sitting for many years. I wanted it checked out before i turned it on. The noted bias cap failed on Mikes bench. It was put in a box at Mesa and remains there, unused, waiting for something special.

I kind of figured it was but Gibson on that one box sort of fooled me. Then again Gibson buying Mesa..... I should have known better
