I bought one of those about 10 years ago, fully flightcased in excellent condition - £3000

But I guess with SS front end and UL output tx its hardly surprising.
Listening to the remastered Sgt. Pepper is amazing - the clarity on the guitar sounds is really improved, and you can hear that 730 perfectly. Great sound, although almost no modern guitarist would use it.
They only bettered it by directly overdriving the mixing desk on Revolution .

Beatles fan or not an amp used on the greatest albums of all time by the most important pop band of all time makes it a collectors item and adds value. The amp I own is just an amp, this amp is part of history.
I guess in this case, it's an interesting dichotomy of great history and middling amp.
It will be a sad day if it ever comes up for sale, but with the combination of its history and the lore of the instrument itself, I suspect Macca's lefty Burst would / will eventually break all records
Back to the amp... I don't get the price, its daft. There are more of these around than folks realise - Barnie used to use one for the early Joy Division stuff because they were cheap and loud back then. They weren't "specially made" for the Beatles - thats BS - however they were *very* expensive and a commercial flop, so there aren't as common as an AC30 but there are some about.
I'd love one - I think the sound is epic. Yes, its harsh and unforgiving, but used in a mix in the right way it stands out - you won't be using one for those cliched blooz riffs with your CS Strat. ;-) There used to be a box called the Magical Mystery Tour or something that got into the sonic ballpark that I *really* fancied owning... I doubt many others would though!!
The Lumpys is also ace for Zep II tones..... for obvious reasons.
My head said brake, but my heart cried never.
