The logo is definitely Selmer, but I can't find the model in 60 seconds of searching.

Ba-boom!

Selmer amps are so beautiful. Of course I like croclex the best but the mk IIs like above kill too.

Anybody familiar with any of the equipment used to record After The Gold Rush? I know the hifi songs w/Crazy Horse were recorded at Sunset Sound, but I wonder about the dank sounding stuff.

Aw thanks , you all are the best! Seriously, this has bothered me for a very long time. I’m also kinda happy these are selling for more than my discretionary budget is. If they were $350 I’d be pretty tempted to get one.

Whoever was designing them had a WILD design sense, even (especially?) given the time, and I love everything about them.

Always thought they look fantastic, but haven't played through one. I used to see them around and they weren't that expensive but not... DANG! Kinda $$$

Rare & cool = $$

For amp design at work I wanted to bite on a couple of the design motifs of the zodiac, being a banner across the bottom with the name & more rounded piping in the corner of the grill. I was voted down as it being 'too much' and that was probably the right call - the banner looks right because the selmer font is so amazing.
