Re: Tweed Bassman - Should I buy it? Help appreciated!

It is a great project and I would do it in a minute if the parts check
out. I have restored two others already, a '55 5D6A and a late '57
5F6.

The 5F6A circuit was introduced in spring of 1958 as previously
mentioned.

Everyone,

I have an opportunity to buy what appears to be a stock 1957 or 1958 5F6-A
Bassman. Everything appears to be original except for a single 470pf grid
resistor!

The only way I could ever afford to buy one of these is to buy it As-Is (I'm
competent enough to check and restore the circuit). The question is, is it
worth $3k - $3500? That's about what I'll have to shell out for it. To my
way of thinking I wouldn't lose money, but I'm not familiar enough with
Tweed Bassmans to know how good of a deal this is, or if I'm missing some
glaring flaw.

To that end, I'd appreciate it if you guys could take a look at this link to
some photos and let me know what you think.

Thanks and Regards,

Justin Lee
