FS/FT: VHT 2150

[narad]

I'm switching up my rack setup and I'm putting my 2150 up for sale, $3200 + ship or trade. It's in really good condition -- a little bit of scrapes on the top but not visible when racked and the front looks pretty much stock. I'd also be up for trading for a nice amp. I'm based in Japan, so you'd have to be cool with shipping to Japan (and receiving from Japan). If you're a regular I'd be fine shipping it out to you first.

I'll take some more pics in the coming days, this is basically the only shot I have of it atm. It's good though as it also helps show what amps I'm not interested in. Some things I'd like are a Framus Cobra, Steavens Poundcase, Metropolis Super-plex, Omega amps, Leviathan, Wizard MTL, etc., things that are tough to get in Japan.

That's your amp collection? What do you do for a living and are you hiring? Free bump for you, sir.

What’s the voltage on that?

What’s the voltage on that?

I think it's 117V -- I don't see anything to indicate otherwise. Of course I run it at 108V because that's what I get at my wall, I can only really vouch for that.

It's a USA model judging by the 120V AC on the back..This is also one of the first batches of 2150's Steve released way back when. These have the really high plate voltage in the 600-680ish range. These are the 2150's to get. I can't lift them anymore or I would..lol!

So, you're saying I should buy this too

What's the reel to reel looking thing above the Boogies?

What's the reel to reel looking thing above the Boogies?

It's an old Hawk tape delay from the mid/late 70s. I used to collect the old Hawk stuff and restore the echos, they had some cool products and unique designs, but I haven't had much time in the past year or two. I think I still have three or four of them waiting to be fixed up.

Is this the same Hawk company that made the pedal that Rory Gallagher played?

I don't think so. They were a bit more studio/synth related, Japanese company. Most of the stuff is rack or hi-fi looking, not sure they ever made a pedal.
