[Amps] NEW DX-3 AMP FOR SALE

[Alek Petkovic]

There was a thread about "crying shame". Tom, I reckon your story is a 
crying shame.

That amp would be a very difficult thing to have to part with. I have a 
DX-2 which I love dearly.

I hope you find a loving new home for it and more importantly, that you are 
well mended and will remain so for a long time to come.

73 from Sunny Perth,
