Bottlehead Crack w/ Speedball

So, I am probably going to regret this, but it just doesn’t get the use that it deserves. Actually, it gets no use...
I have a BH Crack, with the optional Speedball upgrade installed, for your consideration. This was originally built by me in 2015. I actually put the build date on the inside of the box on all of my projects.
The box has been finished with a cherry stain with three coats of poly. The mounting plate and tranny cap were sent to an auto body and sprayed with a black paint. Not the elusive black, but black.
It comes with stock tubes, from BH, as I never got around to trying anything different.
Stock power cord included. For an extra $30, I will include the 1/2m Mac Sound Pipe PC.
Finally, it does have the add-on BH badge that I find is ridiculous that they charge you for...
The amp is located in Mass, if anyone local wants to take a stab.
I’m asking $450 shipped for the amp, stock power cord, and tubes. Add $30 for upgraded PC.
Payment is through PP F&F.
I reserve the right to decline sales to people I do not know.
Thanks for looking,

The 12AU7 has Lindal Tube written on it.
The 6080 just looks like this;

Yea I couldn't figure out what that 6080 was.
Thanks.
Impressive crack box 👍 -
I thought it said Linda Tube.
Yes, @mrbiron -- you will regret selling it.
Someday you will be an empty nester.

When that day comes, I can always buy/build another.

In all seriousness, GLWTS (as they say)!

There is a weird smudge looking...something in the 3rd photo. That’s some weird camera trickery.

Just send it to me. I will put 25 toward shipping and you never have to see it again hahahahaha"....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) -
That’s sounds like a terrible idea. How about this. You pay full, and then I never talk to you again...
I would never. My heart is as big as my grandmothers ***. Yuge!Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -
Not enticing enough I guess...
$430 shipped.
I have things I need to buy people!!!
If you are a 1 post wonder, add $7,285.15 plus triple the shipping assumed at just shy of $98.22.Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -
I'd buy this but I don't physically have the room for it.

WTF is going on here?
Best headphone amp in its price range and at this price a steal.

I’m going to list it on the face space market place this afternoon. If I can’t sell it there, I’m going to use it to chalk the tire on my tractor for the winter. It’s on a flat surface, but you can never be too cautious.Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!
