Just picked up this one. Replaced PT, but the original one came with it - apparently still working, but was getting hot. I'll get some better pics in daylight tomorrow.

Very Cool!
I wondered if you didn't get that one....

I figured you'd have seen it. I took a risk and put a low-ish bid on, and it was just enough. Blown PTs seem to be pretty common on the 50s; with this one, that makes about half a dozen I've come across with a replaced PT.
Did you also see the one that went for $3K?

Yeah, I know the seller. It sounded good, but it was seriously hacked and modded. I wouldn't have given $1500.00 for it.
It was built in 1970 but the guy always insisted it was a '69 because some of the pots had late '69 date codes.
Foolish buyers like that make me consider liquidating my collection!
