For the 3rd year in succession, I have snagged a real gem off Freecycle. Year 1 was a 1982 Roland JC50, year 2 a Henrikesen JAZZ Amp and this year (all around same time in year too!) a 1995 Silverstripe Transtube Bandit.
With the anxiety of limited supply of Tubes and their high prices, at least I can fall back on some solid state classics!
Amp tally now at #14...
Oh yeah, the Bandit just needed a good clean and a squirt of Servisol and it looks and functions A1 - just a broken shaft on the LOW on Distortion EQ. I have managed to set the optimum setting with a bradawl, so may leave it, but if anyone has advice for a replacement pot then please shout.

Well done.
He got divorced and although owns two rental properties. He lives in a tiny flat in South Kensington in order to be near his sons. But the upshot of this is what his neighbours throw out.
So far he’s had a racing bike, an IMac with box and also a HH IC100 combo like the ones Wilko Johnson used to use. His favourite catchphrase is “Jah will provide”
