Fairchild 260 tube amp

[kansei]

I thought about this one for a while and decided it was too expensive for me to get a second one (and the first one isn't cheap, either). The seller wants $700.

i see that your local to the amp kansei. i would say if you have one already you could bargain with the guy a bit and probally get it for 600.i love how the guy used the ebay auction to get his price but the one on ebay was in a bit better conditon.it's nice to see even beater fairchilds now getting the prices that mcintosh, marantz, etc.. get now .these amps are definately worth the money as im sure you know that if you already have a single one and looking for a mate.the good thing about the one listed is it has the old style faceplate which makes it easier to restore when it comes time to paint the chassis.myself i would love to add a 3rd one to my collection and im really going to think this one over if i could get it for under 600,that is if you decide not to grab it .

I have way too many irons in the fire at this time.

Ah, I was hoping the amp was radioactive somehow.
