I have kept the original flatwounds they put on as this was recommended but they are a little dull now. Overall in great condition but I must add there are a few ... more

This is a really niche cab

Made in Stockport with original speakers. I??ve wired it to a jack plug coming out of the cabinet but can easily be changed to a socket if needs be.

The Goodmans speakers sound great, both working well. Really cool old vintage cab, I??ve never been able to find any information about the maker / company K F

Made in Stockport circa 1960s

Both speaker cones look to be in good shape from what I can see peering through the ... more

Vintage EKO Ranger 6 - 1973 or earlier, in magnificent condition + hard caseIf George Orwell ?? yes, the Animal Farm author - had played guitar, he might have written, ??All vintage Eko Ranger Sixes are equal, but some are more equal than others ?? He would be right, because so many of them look a bit "Keith Richards" - the decades have taken a very visible physical toll But this one I'm selling is more "Cliff Richard" ?? incredibly young-looking for its age and in fantastic condition, as can be... more

Fender bronco 40 base amp good working condition collection Manchester M28... more

Owned for over 25 years. Been in storage for 10. One of the 6L6 valves was red plating so immediately stopped using with intention to repair. Just never got round to it and now have too much gear, so it has to go. From experience this shouldn't be a difficult fix and not too expensive. But sold as not working as I cannot confirm this. Seriously loud amplifier and sounds great. Especially the built in phaser. Not dissimilar to late 70s / 80s Fender Twin
