    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    I'd add that to my pile of scrap for the junk yard. :D

    If there is any aluminum in it, it's worth a few bucks. Otherwise, steel pile!

    maybe if he took some of the dirt out of it, he could charge a little less for shipping:D

    As for plugging it in, that thing would have never been near an outlet in my house..

    Back in the old days it was common practice to add bullet holes to your amps. An early tweak that gave your system an "airy" sound. The trick was knowing where to put the holes.

    I love this disclaimer.

    There are what appear to be pieces of lead that are lodged in a couple of the transformers. This may impact their operation, I am not sure. The circuit board is broken and appears to have some pieces missing. The amp was found sitting in a field and there is some mud on one side. I plugged it in briefly to test it and it threw sparks and smoked and blew the circuit breaker. Shipping is only avaiable to locations in France and Italy.

    Perhaps if he removed the 2 lbs of lead thats has to be in this thing he could further drop his shippng lol. I think I counted 17 bulletholes. It looks like he figures that only people from france/italy deserve this fine vintage item.:eek:

    Maybe we should do a double blind test to see if we can pick it out or a new MBL amp!:D
