Until an expert chimes in ...

What's with the big chunk cut out of the chassis end? There's a fair amount of re-wiring and I'm not certain why (look @ pots, mains fuse). I've never seen a cap mounted in that manner (it's usually on the chassis end that's been cut away). Also, the (presently) unused Cliff Jack in the last hole on the back is cause for wonder. Dunno. Not crazy about the added corner protectors, but removing them at this point would be worse.

For the right price, it's be tempting. I have a feeling the Sellers' reserve is more than I would pay for that particular specimen .

The current bid at the time of this post of 351 GBP is near the top of what I would appraise it.
it could make someone a decent player. But it has no collector value what so ever.

I wonder why it is pictured with two different indicator lamps?

[thefatcyclist]

Indicator lamps are stated as having been replaced. The case has no top piping, never seen that before, a replacement??? Looks like it is going to go sky high. Just wanted to know for Gilmour forum reasons.

Thanks chaps

right, but neither of the pictured lamps are the original.
