So is this amp really going to sell at that price? I mean I'm sure the Sylvania's where great tubes like 10 years ago......maybe I'd buy into the old blockletter hype but I've had a blockletter, a sig, and a II.....they all pretty much had the same sound...not that big a diff....at least to me...

Maybe....but I think it is a little high. I sold mine on ebay mint for about that.

Wasn't yours a 6505 though? I know they're the same, but people will pay more for a block letter 5150 just because.

Maybe....my buddy has a blockletter and couldn't get $600 for it locally. Ebay you might though.

Yeah, Ebay rules. Everyone made fun of me and said I got ripped off when I bought that weird violin looking Caparison for $1800, but I sold it for $3000.

Honestly, this is a great deal for someone wanting an original 5150.

If you factor in the quality tubes, this is the classic 5150 tone one might be looking for.

I know people say the + or "reissues" might be similar, but as far as 5150's go...the block letter is the best of them all, IMO.
