Deang Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 My wayward 22 year old showed on our doorstep last week. She was a mess. I need money to get her professional help and pay the Dr. Bills. Don't ask me to go into detail -- it's painful enough as it is. Pictures all over the site of this thing, I'll supply the links when I find them. Craig can fill you in on the details of this amp if he is up to it. Basically, he knows what a headbanger I am, and tends to go a little nutty on my stuff. $680 shipped. 1974 Cornwalls in walnut may be next -- stay tuned.

T2K Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Sorry to hear that Dean. As you seem to know, possessions are replaceable. Our families are not. Good luck to you and your daughter. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM135 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Dean, Sorry to hear about your daughter. I'm sure someone here will take you up on the amp. Craig just rebuilt my 299A or I would consider yours. Best of luck to you and your family. Regards, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 She is a nice one that is for sure. Completely rebuilt top to bottom with all the tweaks ! http://mywebpages.comcast.net/craigostby/299B.jpg'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM135 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 OK guys...for all of you folks considering tube amps here is your chance. Would cost several thousand bucks to build an amp like this today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Saturday is a slow day on the forum not a good day to sell a amp. The weekends are always dead here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 I'm not in the biggest hurry to move it -- I figure the bills won't start hitting until June. Anyone have any idea what my Cornwalls are worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlecreekguy Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Refresh a dummies memory. How much power per side? Measurements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 A little over 20 watts. Plenty. Measurements? You mean as in 'size', or 'specs'. Specs won't measure up to solid state. It's not about how much distortion -- but what kind. Tube distortion doesn't give you the bends the way most solid state does. Size wise, it's probably about the same size as your Yammerhammer.

Johnny dB Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Hey Dean, Sorry to hear about the unfortunate situation you're in. That said... I'd be interested in the Cornwalls. I could "hold" them for you. That is buy them and if you wanted them back I'd sell back to you for the same price. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlecreekguy Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Take him up on it Dean. That is mighty nice of ya John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBM135 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Scott 299 measurements approx in it's case: 15 1/2W x 12 1/2D x 5H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 Craig, We only think this forum is dead on the weekends. We forgot about our resident lurkers. Sold! I have recieved several emails about the Cornwalls, and one member has already agreed to my asking price. He emailed me about your offer John, which is very nice of you. The mailer said he was O.K. with me taking you up on your offer -- However, you would have to match the offer of $950. Seriously though, the way things are going right now -- it would take two years to buy them back:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny dB Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Dean, Sorry, but I can't come up with that much loot right now. That's great you were able to sell them soo fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlecreekguy Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 The tread of the day. A happy ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlecreekguy Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I`m sure your daughter will get it together. When I was 22 I did a lot of things..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 NUTS!!! The one Saturday morning I don't check the Klipsch board and a beautiful piece of equipment like this appears and disappears before my eyes. Craig and I have been discussing the 299B as a mate to my '68 K-horns, so this was a perfect opportunity. Oh well, there will be others. On a serious note, hope everything goes well with your daughter Dean. May she have a speedy and complete recovery. Family is certainly the most important thing in our lives. Glad you were able to find buyers for your items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
