Message: <blockquote data-quote="mfred" data-source="post: 120736" data-attributes="member: 1388"><p>Guys,  I have priced this one really low due to the dent.  In this case, I wasn't the one who dented it. It was our friendly UPS service.  I bought the amp about 6 months ago.  When I pulled it out of the box I was sick because of the dent. I had paid quite a bit for what was supposed to be a mint amp.  A claim was filed with UPS and after months they finally settled.  Because they took so long to settle, I bought another one in the interim. Now I have two, but really only need one. When I initially pulled the amp out of the box, the amp was playing, but the bias was messed up between the tubes.  They are supposed to be matched and they were around 10 milliamps apart in both channels. I didn't go any farther pending results of the claim. After UPS finally settled I decided to troubleshoot. I replaced the tubes and the mismatched biasing issue was fixed.  I opened up the amp and did a visual inspection and couldn't find anything that wasn't cosmetic. I thought what they heck and decided to play it. It's been played now for about 4 hours with no problems. I'm assuming that any issues would have shown up by now. If you can live with the cosmetics, here's your chance to pick one up dirt cheap. Sorry for writing a book. I just wanted you to know the whole story.</p></blockquote><p></p>
