I love reading all the questions people send him, and he always responds politely.  What a great guy.   But, as I was reading the Q&A, he says the paint on these amps cost $5,000.00  holy shit!!!  5 grand just for the paint!!    I hope he gets some serious cash for these, just to break even.
   Beautiful amps.

If I had that kinda money to spend on these amps I'd rid myself of most of the other stuff I have...but I simply don't have either the budget or willpower to get rid of stuff like a TFM-75!!! I freakin hooked on the collecting part...OCCD...It's a way of life!!!!  :o

If I win the auction, that's what I am going to have to do, sell all my gear so I can pay for them.
I would love to keep it all, but there is no way I could afford to purchase the Sevens without selling my Cherry 260's, 425x5, C-19 Etc
