Also, $2400, wtf?

But it's vInTaGe

That would probably be cool if someone like FM Tony Balls rebuilt it to use reasonable voltages, which I imagine would entail a different power transformer and different voltage dropping resistor values in the high voltage rail (this latter so the small tubes still get the right plate voltage). But at that point, you might as well order a brand new custom amp.

wtf is this https://www.waittes.com/product/portable-synthesizer/

it's showing as $70 c'mon scam and a half, right? but I want it anyway...not like $450 want it but would want two at $70

oh also those 400PS are gnarly af, Ridiculous amounts of power but they have to be split between 3 speaker cabs for some reason. Notoriously difficult to work on due to weird build but super interesting to a know-nothing like myself

That looks fun, but even if it were real, would all the functions/knobs/etc. really work? The contact is some company in Hong Kong, but whether or not you 1) get something that works as advertised and not just a fake box of junk, and 2) you get anything at all is the question.

Who has $70 to blow and find out for us?

Who is online
