Well Lou, if by way of comparison one considers the current cost of a fully
optioned Ameritron AL-82 amp for circa $3000, then perhaps a fully mod'd L4B
in such apparently pristine condition for the princely sum of $2200 is
arguably not such a bad proposition.

Clearly the buyer is a Drake aficionado and willing to pay a healthy premium
above the generally accepted going price of these classis amps.

Something fishy about that auction for sure.  I'd like to know who bought 
it and why they paid so much for it.  Other than a few mods it was just 
another L4B.  The blue panel lights???

There were 3 good ones at Dayton for around $800.... so I think that's 
pretty  wild.
