Hi-Tones do make the best cabs. Hands down.

Unfortunately, someone on eBay bought the Starfinder replica (if you want to call it one) back in mid November. For the price of the Starfinder, that person could've bought 2 Hi-Tone DR-F 4x12 cabs instead.

I'm not sure if anyone know about this, but Hiwatt UK is building the WEM Starfinder 4x12's. I've seen this cabinet listed a few times on eBay by the same seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HIWATT-STARFINDER-CABINET-WEM-PINK-FLOYD-STYLE-/151190332486?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2333a56446 Here's...

It's back! Now it has a heftier price tag.

The auction on this amp ended a day later because there was "an error in the listing." What was the "error?" Strange.

I picked up 2 VHR faceplates on eBay a couple weeks ago. The first one is a Custom 30. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150852107002&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160 The other is a Custom 50. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150852101785&ssPage...

Finman76, according to the website, http://hiwatt.org/dates.html , your Hiwatt appears to be very late 1980. I'm assuming that it's a Hylight amp & it must be hand-wired. How much would you be willing to sell the amp for? Whereabouts are you located?

David

Well, it looks like some unfortunate soul ended up buying the amp a few weeks back.

But in the meantime, I'll still keep a lookout for a used DR-504. Hope I snag one. And if I don't then a Hi-Tone DR-504 or a DR-307 is in the future.

Those are the best album covers ever! Bar none! Inspiring!

I would not give over $1000.00 for the hacked HIWATT. Decent ones with both original transformers have been going cheap. Thank you Dr. HIWATT. I'll wait until this auction ends & see if it'll come down to under $1k, unless some fool ends up buying it. Be careful with generalizations, listing a ...

The output transformer is the most important IMO, and that still looks original. $1400 seems a little high to me in the current market, given the PT is not original. That's what holding me back. Even though the output transformer isn't original, it'd be more of a player's amp rather than a collecto...

Someone needs to superimpose it by replacing Yngwie's Marshall stack with a Hiwatt stack. Since he ditched the Dimarzio pickups in favour of Seymour Duncans, I'm waiting for the day ...

Though they listed it from 1976, it's actually from 1977 according to the serial number (#10080). I want to pull the trigger on it but here's where the "but" comes in. 1. In the descripton, it was stated that the transformer was replaced in 2001. You can see it in one of the photos. 2. If ...

I'm just curious. Do you still have the VHR 50 head or is it sold?

Although alot of people like Eminence Speakers, I'm not a fan of them. I had an Eminence Legend in my GIbson GA20-RVT amp (2005 model) & ended up replacing it with a Jensen P12N Reissue. To my ears, the Jensen sounded better. I'm thinking about getting the Reaper 30's (clones of the Celestion G1...
