SOLD - WEM/Watkins Westminster Mk9 (1970s) SOLD

edited January 2019 in Amps £
Looking to get £350 £300 250 collected from Birmingham for this, serviced by TLC (aka Branston Amp - Jon is a bit of an expert in old british amps like WEM/Selmer/Kelly) here in Birmingham 

Speaker looks like a Fane. When I got it, the amp sounded nasty, buzzy and congested. Following the service, it's clear, articulate and only distorts in a pleasant way when you turn it up LOUD. Tonally, it's got a bit of a Tweed Harvard/Deluxe thing going on with the ~10 watts in a small cabinet.

Original grille cloth and WEM badge, slightly tatty with age but still holding on!

    I had one of those in the early 90's . . . Quality :-)
    Id just like to point out that, despite all the video and DNA evidence, it genuinely wasn't me, your Honour  !

    Trade for a Pro Jr? Or something ~5 watts (preferably a 1x10 or 1x12)?
