Early Model 65 Highboy
#10

Wow $650!!!! I just want to mimic what the others have said. I certainly wouldn't be a bad thing to see if you could knock the price a bit. At $175 is still pretty stiff. and then you've got to come up with some knobs. In less Ron takes some pity on you and hooks you up with a set you are looking at maybe $30 or $40. Agreed cabinet seems look to be in great shape. Definitely want to make sure if it uses 45's that they aren't missing when you get it. You may want to ask if the tubes have cap to see if they are 26's triodes or 24's pentodes. (if you still want it) If you like it I'd jump on it. But what the heck I spent over $500 for a 37-116 so I'm crazy!!!! The plus is it is a easy set to work on , lot of room and a pretty simple circuit
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

PS. I think that it's great that you give your sets away be gifting them. I kinda do the same thing as there is a white elephant party at are church around Christmas time. I always get a kick from give and hoping that someone will enjoy it as much as I did getting work well for the exchange.
