^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's been continuously posted on Ebay for at least 5 years.

Seller is from my hometown and is sitting on a stash of gear "worth" $500K.

Ah, the Alquonguin Bob, eh?

 

[Leland47]

Oh....didn't realize!

Came across this today, some period price data:

Original source of this came from this vid:

That ad for the LHs always makes me sad. These were Stuart Hegeman's personal pair, which he passed down to his stepson, Peter. Peter and his wife sold these a few years ago, when Peter found out he had terminal cancer. They found a great home in England, and Peter joined his dad in a stereo workshop in the sky soon after.

Wow, not very high winning bid, wish I had the cash around...

 

[radioactive]

Not bad at all for a pair that are plug are plug not play but the main filter caps look original.

 

[radioactive]

There are some wiring differences though if you look at the underneath pictures.for 1 the one resistor is hooked up to the filter caps and on the other is not.

Yep, we talked about this one today. It was interesting that Gadgetman bought these three years previous from an east coast auction, had them sorted so they are running, but had a miserable restoration job done. That is reflected in the price. One amp is neat as a pin, the other was kit built by a dyslexic meth addict looking for a Twinkie.
