  • Pawn Shop Score/Christmas Present

    Hello everyone. I should have posted this earlier, but I am just now finding time to catch up on things. I was out shopping before Christmas and stopped in a few pawn shops that were in the area. I found a Peavey Bravo 112 (2 Channels, All tube, 25 Watts, Effects Loop, Speaker Outs) marked for $119.99. After trying it out and discussing how dusty it was, I got it for $86.00 out the door. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It is in good condition with only some minor scuffing on the tolex and some wear on the black corner caps.

    I cleaned it up and replaced the stock tubes with some EH12AX7's and some JJ/Tesla EL84's. It sounds good and I might replace the stock speaker with a Celestion soon. I don't think the pawn shop knew what amp they had. The tubes are mounted horizontally and covered with a plate in the rear. I can't wait to turn it up when everyone is out of the house.

    I have been looking for a small tube amp for practice and really lucked out in finding this one. I also scored a Charvel Model 4 for a pretty decent price and will try to post some pictures of it later in the appropriate section. Here are a couple of pictures. If the pictures are too large Admins, I apologize in advance.

    Thanks,

    Ben

    That is a great deal!
    I need to have a combo for lower volume use at home too.
    Congrats on killer score!

          I'm with you, Brad - I've never ever ever seen or talked my way into a good deal in a pawn shop. A couple of years ago, that big-ass one on State Line had a Johnson J8 controller that I wanted for my J-Station. Price for me? About $350.

          Where I live now I found a blue model 4 with fins and OHSC, for only $550.

          Good score, Ben - post us some clips, and more amp porn! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

                  Nice little EL84 powered amp! They sell for about 3x what you paid on Ebay, which they don't show up that often there. Congrats on that score! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
