Amp Auction: Peavey 5150 Amp Head Original Block Letter w Footswitch EVH Van Halen US Made NR

Amp Auction Description: For sale is the classic Peavey 5150 120 Watt Amp -- this is the original block letter version, the first version. This amp began the "Brown Tone" craze with its 5 preamp and 4 power tubes which make this baby scream on either clean, crunchy, or full on insane distortion. Includes original Footswitch.Here are the amp specifications:120 watts (rms) into 16, 8, or 4 ohms (switchableFive 12AX7 preamp tubes and four 6L6GC power amp tubesHigh and low gain inputs2-channel preamp switchable on front panel or remote footswitchRhythm channel: pre-/post-gain, bright and crunch switchesLead channel: pre-/post-gainChannels share 3-band EQPresence and resonance controlsSwitchable post-EQ effects loopPreamp outputThis amp functions and sounds great and looks good cosmetically for a nearly 20 year old amp. A few tolex scuffs here and there, a few cracks in the plastic top vent but otherwise cosemtically very good. The only two things I do want to mention are that a) the plug has no ground post -- the reason for this is that the previous owner did not have 3 post outlets in his house and he removed it. It DOES NOT affect sound and if you flip the ground switch on the amp (+/ 0/-) any hum will immediately disappear. b) the volume pot is scratchy at very low levels. Once you get it past 1 it's absolutely fine. These are both very easy fixes that any good tech can do in a hour or less for very cheap. I'd fix them at my usual tech but he's always got a two week + wait to be seen.Shipping will be to the continental USA ONLY. Flat rate of $60 will include insurance. Non-negotiable unless you are picking it up locally.I have perfectly described this item and terms of sale in detail therefore there are no returns.Have a great day and thanks for looking!
