Cosmeticallyexcellent - no holes dents, scratches, rust, etc. This is a very wellpreserved example of 1960's stereo technology. Everything is there –all hardware, all four feet, all of the correct knobs, the bottomplate, you even get the original factory Channel Master dust cover. Ihave owned this little amp since 1966 and I take very good care of mystuff.Elec...tricallyexcellent – it plays as it should. Being over fifty years old, I went through it and replaced all out of tolerance components, thatis most composition resistors, all paper capacitors, and one outputtube (see pix for the replaced parts). Then, I brought it up slowlywith current limiting to see if the electrolytics would reform. Theydid, so, I did not replace them. I ran it for several hours spinningsome classic rock and roll on vinyl. It plays just fine. It gets hot, but, that's the way it's designed. 6BQ5s run in class A get warm!Ihad not played this amp in forty years, so, it's time to give it anew home where it will be appreciated and not sit on a shelf. I'msure that a vacuum tube enthusiast will enjoy this dandy little blastfrom the past. Asfor shipping, I still have the original packing box. I will packagethe amp carefully in that box, then put that box into another wellpadded box. The amp alone weighs about 27 pounds and the finalshipping box will be pretty big, so, shipping will not be cheap. As amatter of practice, I always refund any shipping over-payment.Whatyou see is what you get. Thanks for stopping by.Checkmy feedback.

ALSO NOTE: I have been buying andselling on ebay for over ten years and have completed hundreds ofsuccessful transactions. The vast majority of the folks I havedealt with are pleasant, honest buyers and sellers. Sadly, however, I've had the misfortune of dealing with the other endof the spectrum, too, from merely unpleasant people to downrightcrooks. Dealing with people like this is stressful, irritating, and costly. Life is too short for that. I maintain ashort list of "Banned Buyers". My ebay experiencewith these folks was unpleasant and I don't wish to repeat it. Occasionally, I have to add another user to the list. Therefore, I reserve the right to CANCEL ANY BID, at ANY TIME, forANY REASON.
