No affiliation, just a cool looking little MCM Statesman up for sale in the Bay Area...

From the title I was expecting a political post. initial reaction was "probably lots of them but then again a real stateaman wouldn't be up for grabs"... Chuckle.

Nice looking unit.

Yeah it's been there awhile and the price has come down but they have been asking to much. I think when I first seen it they had a $2000 price on it.

Pair of model 100 amps and the 202T tuner/preamp, worth the asking price probably.

Missing one of the amps I believe.

i am hoping to pick that up this weekend. i have been in discussions with the seller. definitely missing the second 100 mono amp, and the remaining has 6l6 tubes rather than el37. she's also not sure the condition of the 202t.

Aside from that, it works perfectly.

I was looking at the ad when it first came out. Didn't even realize the second amp was missing.

Let us know the condition after you pick it up! Felton to Concord should be a nice drive...

.. of course all the pieces of the set are here.

Thanks. I will do. I have to figure out borrowing a truck. If things had worked out this past weekend I'd have it already...but then I realized I wouldn't be able to fit it in our hatchback with the seats down. I don't want to damage it.

If only we had a House and Senate full of statesmen/stateswomen instead of the mess we've got now (on both sides of the aisle; I don't want to make this too political).

Nice looking unit.

That was my first thought as well.

Good luck tomorrow...

thanks, @slowpat. i'm going to bring padding and filler, and remove the amp and the preamp (and the turntable) and put them in the front seat. then lay it on its back with the back seat down. if i have help lifting it in i should do just fine.

got it in the hatchback. sn 10055, must be the 55th 202t to roll off the line!!

 

[turnitup]

Awesome! That’s a great looking little console. Glad it’s in good hands!

One of mine came 18 units after yours. 10073

The one I use is 31137

I think you're going to like what you hear.
Don't be surprised if the volume control balance is wonky. It's worth fixing..
