Came across this amp in perfect condition. Seller has papers to show resto. Asking 1500USD. Is this a fair/good price?
 
I think $1500 is pushing it. You could find one on here for under a grand, probably. Or you could buy a nice one for $500-600 and pay another $300-600 to have it restored.
 
Seems high.
Plan to spend more on good tubes.
Power tubes aren;t getting cheap these days either.
In the end though, it's a nice sounding tube amp that'll last another 50 years.
 
The 299 is the right tube amp to look at, IMO. Tube rectified with sound just as engaging as the MC-60. I have three of them, all restored. Agreed, $1,500 is steep. If it was showroom mint with wood case, you would overpay at $1200 but you would not be sorry. I realize that not everyone is DIY. I bought all three of mine in original but good cosmetic condition and with wood cases for around $400-500 each. Restoration parts and misc. tubes add $200 to 250 and then there is your time which in my case is free because I enjoy the process. Your time may be more valuable which represents the premium you are willing to pay.
