Cosmetically this is in great condition but unfortunately after it's been switched on for a few minutes it starts making intermittent popping/crackling noises. I've tried replacing the valves myself but this hasn't fixed the issue.
In all other aspects, everything works fine - the popping/crackling doesn't come through via headphones or the emulation output.
It's not really worth me laying out to get it fixed as I wouldn't use now. 

With the problem, I'm not really sure what it's worth to anyone  - any interest in say £50? 
I'm open to offers 


Local pickup would be preferable - or if you're anywhere in the Surrey/Sussex/Kent/SE London area I could possibly deliver or meet halfway. I'm in Edenbridge, Kent.
Might be able to post - the dreaded Hermes would be £7 but royal mail appear to be considerably more.

    Not for me, but if anyone else is interested, the fault is in the power section and most likely the phase inverter - the headphones/emulated output is taken from the preamp not the power amp. The PI is a discrete-transistor solid-state circuit and can occasionally cause trouble - Blackstar's customer service are very helpful if you can't find a tech familiar with fixing this.
