None of my musician buddies or their friends were even remotely interested at the time. They were all keen on my Boogie!
I bought a mint 2555 half stack about a month ago I guess it was and got it for a steal. Heck I even offered the dealer to let me sell it for him without me having to lay any money out for it, and if I sold it (the head only) I keep the cab and we split the profit, he said no and I nearly tripled my money on the head alone, so you have a point about the collectible part.
In that sense doing a RI of the 6100 and the Jubilee's would be a great marketing move.

When I got the '83, it was kind of a mess. Lot's of oxidation like it had been sitting in somebodies basement for years. I did a couple of Tone Lizard mods and filled it full of old Mullards (pre and power), and have been using it ever since. I've dumped all my other amps and kept the 800. Everytime I start gassin for something else, I just strap on the old LP ('73 goldtop) and plugin to the 800. The gas pains subside.
