What would you pay for a hardwood 60 watt SOB combo?

[Monsta-Tone]

My neighbor has a hardwood SOB combo that is in decent player condition for sale.
It has been modified, but I don't know what was done to it.
It does have 6V6's in it right now though, so at least a bias mod.

I'm kind of interested in it, but don't know if I want to pay that much for it.

What is a decent price to offer?

Not a highly desirable Mesa honestly, so I wouldn't offer any higher than $300 if it were me.

It would go for at LEAST $800 if the cabinet is in ok shape. You'd probably get over $1200-$1500 if you took some good pictures of it.

I just saw a hardwood mark 1 reissue go for $1100 (buy it now) immediately after it was put up. I don't know what it is but I guess the ladies like the hard wood.

~$600 imho

~$200 for a nice Hardwood cab. ~$150 for the EVM speaker. $37.89 for the SOB inside.

Monsta-Tone,
the hardwood cabinet must be like $250. It might probably be able to accept any Mark from the II-B on.
For the guts, you probably are much more knowledgeable than any of us.

If I got it, the guts would be a Mark I in no time...... :mrgreen:

He probably wants $900 or something though.

 

[igfraso]

I would pay that for a Mark I reissue with hardwood cabinet and the standard speaker (is it the C90?).

Now, for a modded SOB, I would deduct the price differential between the MkI and the SOB plus the "unmodding" cost.

 

[JAZZGEAR]

Again, I would only pay $300 for an SOB, hardwood cabinet not withstanding

No Ef'ing way an SOB would go for anywhere near that amount......that's just dream land. :lol:

Monsta-Tone,

And now, just for a laugh:

- STR 415 tube: $13

Best regards
