Checking interest on a Joule Electra VZN 80 OTL tube amp

I went from a pretty nice salary to fixed income status and I am down-sizing some of my audio gear. I am considering selling my most prized possession. This Joule tube amp is lights-out, especially when paired with the Joule pre amp.

I really am hesitant about letting this one go, but it will be either this piece or several other pieces. Tuff decision but wanted to know if there was any interest.

Comes with a full set of NOS replacement tubes I bought in May 2017. Asking $2975
can provide pics upon request
