WHY?!?
would anyone want to buy a brand new SB220 without mods for more than $700?
to make it work well, you need to replace the txfmr with a Peter Dahl or
equivalent then put in all the mods which Measures and Harbach have come up
with... all of that can add another $800??? to the amp before you have
something that works as well as what I have which really needs only one
thing... a new face plate. It out performs the stock unit by a great amount
or so I am told.
After getting a new, unbuilt kit, the tubes will have to be vacuumed down by
slowly heating them and driving off the air that has seeped into them. Odds
are the caps, etc are bad and will need replacement. yada, yada...
WHY would anyone want to buy anything other than what I have which I
purchased for the equivalent of less than $1,000? depending on how you value
the trades, etc I made. iow, a rebuilt 811H plus $200 or $300.
These used and modified SB220s can be found almost anywhere people are
trading them in for a solid state or other amp which is felt to be an upgrade
to their station.
fwiw
