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?
