Wondering if this combo belongs to a fellow VHC member...

Auction Reads:
Super Rare Dave Reeves era HIWATT SA212 in incredible condition.
If you know what you are looking at, I don't need to type anything else. If not, let me Hylight some important details.

Original Partridge transformers made in 1976
Original Fane model 122231 speakers made the 13th week of 1977.
testing as new Mullard I63 coded 12ax7s in V1 and V2
testing as new Mullard ecc81/12at7 in the phase inverter
testing as new Brimar CV4004 12ax7 in V3
New GT EL34M power tubes

This combo is big and heavy, but cool as hell!

It works perfectly and sounds AWESOME as a real Dave Reeves era HIWATT should.

Not surprised considering auction reads like an aficionado owner. There's a photo of one in the board here somewhere shown with Crescendos that I've drooled over, I was thinking it was yours. Yes/no?

Have you ever played your SA212 with (atop perhaps) a SE4122 cabinet? I'm thinking it must be an awesome setup.

yes, I have a 1974 with Crescendos in it also.

don't remember ever sitting it on a 4x12.
