Some other interesting parts for sale too. Handy if you're restoring your original amp.

Sad but I've only just found you guys after MR buggered off, great looking forum going on here.
The thing is ... fitted with this panel the amp is not going to be 'original' ... at will be an old amp fitted with another old amp's front panel. The rough use that may well have caused the original panel to be broken will still have happened (and may have taken its toll on other parts of the amp). This originality thing is utter 'male bovine excrement': once a part is changed for a new part or an old one for that matter the unit is not original ... full stop. My own personal view is that It's far more honest to but in a good repro part than try to 'pretend' that the amp is unmolested.

I completely agree, but that's not what the 'market' sees. An amp with a nice repro panel would be worth *less* than with a damaged original.

IIRC I had a bit of a row with him on MR, if its the same bloke he was called ElectrikGypsy and his company was called Electrik Amps, when he came on flogging his HiWatt Custom clones and then wouldn't let anyone know the prices. It got to the point where he threatened to have me ejected from the forum. I kept screen shots of the whole 4 pages of the thread just as evidence. He has a bit of an ego problem I reckon.
