I just bought one of these for fun http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT Its ok for a second system a bit coloured for my taste and not as fast as I would like but might benefit from tube rolling Has a bit more body and power than the mini T but think the Mini T is better

Fifty notes is a bargain. I am sure it can be impreved upon.

The listing does state they are "grade B". You might have to take the exchange.

That's a real coincidence as I stumbled across that amp on ebay, wondered if any one on here had any experience of them, and if at £50 it was too good to be true... Guess that answers the question, John.
