I think they may have gone a step above expensive.

Impressively legitimate list of bidders thus far.

I don't know the very first thing about them, but there's obviously something special.

 

[Jeff M]

Oh thanks alot for telling! I was going to snipe them at the end, but now every AK'er here will be bidding and they will go high now.

 

[SoCal Sam]

Powered up with no speakers and he still got $33,100!

 

[similost]

I can't believe they are worth that... something just don't seem right...

Oh, there's 6-1/3 days of bidding left Sam!

There's something special about those that we're not readily aware of James, look at the bid history, i don't think those are the bids of shills or deadbeats. This seller's gonna cash in.:yes:

CL finally pays off for some lucky bastard!

Oops, I forgot. No affiliation etc.

 

[Omegaman]

I wonder if they will take a third party out-of-state check with no ID?

 

[similost]

I can understand they are some kind of special amp.. but $33K worth of special? I'm sorry, can't see that... I guess some people got more money than brains..

 

[bowtie427ss]

I guess some people got more money than brains..

Indeed, and of them some don't have very much money, if ya know what i'm saying.

 

[mrjbq]

I have 4 of those....they're not that great

 

[electronjohn]

Methinks they are Orient-bound.

 

[bolly]

I was thinkin bout those.... but bought my electrohomes instead..... LOL!

 

[shawnra]

Holy cow... I can't believe those are worth that much. I've got 2 of them in my kids room playing her Justin Bieber albums right now.

 

[HypnoToad]

They have tubes, transformers, resistors, capacitors like any other tube amp, what makes these so special?

 

[diamondsouled]

Fairchild made premo recording studio gear that is worth big bucks these days. Their tube compressor limiters bring in thousands of dollars as well. I suspect these are studio tube amplifiers. There are enough people in the know about them to bid them up

Will be interesting to see how high they go. :yes:

Cheers
