No match for the Ojans so up for grabs.
Never been tampered with.
There are a few chips on the cabs .
They are fully working .
No rips or splits to the cloth bass driver surrounds.
Grills in excellent condition
1 badge missing ( easily available)
I was going to replace the capacitor but the buyer may prefer them untouched but if you want it replaced at cost them I’m happy to do it for you.

The veneer looks pretty OK. If it was me, I'd just tidy any nicks and knocks then french polish them to retain originality.

If you open them up to change the cap, give the switch a squirt of contact cleaner, dirty contacts can affect the sound.

New clarity caps installed and treble switches cleaned , these little things make the music rather enjoyable [emoji4]

Tested the old 10uF 50 year old caps ….
Of course they could have well measured around 12uf when new

Yes I’ve heard the ls3/5a’s .
