Hi guys. This amp was mine a couple years ago. While it may not have the collectibility of the 4 input, Turret board amps, it is a great amp none the less.
You can't go into a store and buy an amp that sounds nearly as good for anywhere near the B-I-N price. The pics in the auction are ones that I took a few years ago when I sold it to keep the ex happy when I got my '73 DR504. If I remember correctly, the QC tag is from early March 1981, making it one of Dave Reeves last amps. It is a Hylight despite the error in the listing.
It is tempting to buy it back!

Hmm. And just how many Hiwatt items have you gotten since the divorce?

It isn't final yet.......
Just a few. My magnet has been on again. One of them appears to be lost at sea...
"what was that Star, you mean the money from the refi was for the settlement???"
sadly, if I didn't have to pay her, I would have several more new amps incoming!

I haven't dipped into that........I have thought about it though! Especially when a $6000 half stack is tempting me!
Rumor has it that a late '72-early '73 DR103 is heading towards HIWATT Valley.
Still looking for my 1971....

He was going to get back to me as well, perhaps he found a local buyer...

I hate to hear about the divorce. Those things are never easy.

My wife hates any kind of loud guitar noise, I'm not sure how we've stayed together all these years!
