sheltie dave Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Taylor, just sit tight. We are stalking this one, and you have a guaranteed backup in Smilins up in Michigan. If this guy has weak knees, you'll have a great deal. We will see how things fall out when the dust settles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, they'll guide you to a reasonable deal on a 299D or LK-72B. Just sit back, relax, and let Sheltie Dave, Ryan, and the others who have years of audio experience do the work for you and help get this all ironed out.

WS65711 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Taylor, I sure hope this works out for you buddy. My 10 year old wants a pair of Klipschorns really really bad! I'm not kidding! He really really does!!! In all seriousness, good luck Taylor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheltie dave Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Everyone, I talked with Smilin as the LK-72B started shooting through the roof. He offered his 299D, already at Craig's, for his cost - a $20 chipin. It already has a walnut case in decent shape. I would like to take the time to thank everyone who has offered to help out Taylor. Whether it be offering advice, chipping in some money, or offering professional services gratis, Taylor's quest has brought out some of the best in all of us who have been involved to any extent. Ryan, Craig, the Fischer Doctor, and A1 TV Repair in St. Louis stepped forward and offered to rebuild Taylor's tube amp for free. Alan offered a brand new case for free. Please remember this when you have your next piece of tube equipment that might need a repair or rebuild, or you are looking for a custom case. It is always nice to treat well those who treat you well. Taylor, I will send Smilin a check for $260 this week as my back allows. You have my phone #, so your folks can give me a ring. If you want to get me an initial payment of $ when you can, that will be fine. Make sure you keep $50 of what you already have, so your wallet is not empty. You won't be getting this for free - just getting a great deal on an amp you can enjoy for the rest of your life if you want. I will post a link to my wife's Paypal acct tomorrow for anyone who wants to send a chip in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Shomaker Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 don't worry I already plan on buying it, I would just like a little info about this amp and if possible a picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Ryan, Taylor is officially in the queue ! This amp is sweet. It needed a 5AR4, 7591's, 6U8s and Knobs but Dave offered the 7591 spares that I have of his here and I have a few so we will have a set for him. They probably won't be like new but he can take his time and find a nice set for a backup. The case is in descent shape the amp is in excellent shape ! Old Steve is the luckiest eBayer I have ever seen. Every piece he buys is in near perfect shape or totally unique like is Vert Corns. If you want you could donate some of the parts if you would like.

He said the 299D you're getting is VERY clean. He told me it was a lot nicer than mine. I am jealous now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch RF7 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 There you go Taylor, now your officialy in que for a sweet rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Taylor, Smiling, Craig, and all the 299D owners can help you with the questions. This amp is a 40 watt a side deal, rather than the 'bout 35 watt a side the 299C is. More tone controls, a scoosh more power, and with a walnut case. The $405 THE lk-72b went for was almost obscene. That was crazy money for something that needs a rebuild, or at least a thorough sorting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
