I am the second owner so I don't know the exact age of this amp but it has been cared for very well and always been in a pet and smoke free home. It was Fine Tuned by Musical Fidelity on 4.10.2011 and the certificate will be included with the amp.

Oh Christ Claus, good luck with that, you'll be subjecting yourself to all manner of idiots on Adverts unfortunately! :(

Looks a lovely amp you have, it might be worth your while advertising on UK specialist sites first to see if there's interest. It's a niche we're in, smaller so in Ireland, & most of us are already on here, so may not be worthwhile going the Adverts route & getting the " will you take my 5 year old laptop, rusty mountainbike & a tenner for your amp" merchants!

What sort of cash is your bottom line on it anyway?
