Looks like this guy belongs to the Church of Torlex (the Hi Vis denomination).

Sure, I love giant tube amps as much as the next guy, but aren't these things notoriously unreliable (probably due to heat). Seems like every one ever I've seen come up for sale is broken.

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.

Yep. Those things have a weird OT setup too....i'd rather not mess with it personally.

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?

Seems really pricey. I sold a VT-22 a couple years ago for half that

That's probably about $150 too high, even considering it probably had about $200 worth of work done. I sold a recapped V4 for $750 a couple years ago. For some reason V4Bs command a slight premium, despite the lack of a reverb tank.
