  • Looking for the right person to give this stuff to...

    At this point in my life I've come to the realization that I'm probably never going to move forward with some long ago planned amp projects. That said I've got a bunch of tube amp stuff I'd like to find a good home for. I'm not interested in shipping anything anywhere. Looking for an amp hobbyist I can give this stuff to that will drive to my place in Martinsburg, WV and pick this stuff up.

    Just as a summary of what I've got: empty amplifier cabinets, chassis, Weber speaker, turret boards, parts (transformers, resistors, caps, sockets, reverb pan...), tubes, old Heathkit tube tester...

    Yeah, I could probably sell all this on eBay or somewhere, but I'm not interested in all the work to do so. So my loss is someone's gain.

    Let me know if you're interested by sending me a private message and let me know when you could come.

    Martinsburg is just a cannon shot from Harpers Ferry, and not really very far from Washington DC or Baltimore. A nice drive in the country.

    Put it on Craigs List in Morgantown.

      If I was in your area I would certainly be up to come get all of what you have. Unfortunately I'm in Oregon, which is a bit of a drive. Good luck on finding someone interested!

        I'm tempted, but it's more than a few hours drive from the far corner of Ohio. I'm sure someone closer will be blessed by your generosity.
        Thanks, Steve!

              I know there are folks from the Baltimore area (Bal'mer) who habit MEF. That's pretty close to your location?

                  Yes, B'more is about an hour and forty away. I could meet them in Frederick which is an hour from Baltimore.

                        If only I were closer. I'm looking for a cabinet and chassis to stuff a build into right now.

                          That's very nice of you!

                          If that falls through I have a friend that I think lives in your town.

                            Yes that is a very cool thing to do,,, I love the spirit of giving, sharing and caring. Especially seeing is that it isnt exactly total junk that is being given away.
                            Always a great way to share a passion, hobby, avocation, with others. Promote camraderie and finding others that have similar vision, potential, and value in the same things as you. Especially if it helps them out .
                            It is pretty neat that you can hook up in person and share these things, maybe socialize on a real and more personal level than just online.
                            I am glad for both of you!
                            I like to do things like this. Give away, trade, swap ect... just for the spirit of commonality of stuff.

                              Met Steve over the weekend and picked up the items. Very nice person and i thank him very much. Now to decide which project to do first. I think the Marshall cabinet with either a jtm45 or 18 watt.
