Agreed - a pair of these in nice shape working should go for about
$1200 -$1500. A pair of AA-908 Pilot EL-34 monoblocks recently went
for a little over $1200, and they're MUCH rarer (made for just 1 year
! ) and INHO they are every bit as good or better than the
Farichilds....that's my 2 cents.

hi roger,
i saw those pilots on ebay and agree that they're probally evry bit as
good as the fairchild.pilot made some very fine gear.
speaking of rare amps did you see the scott 290 not to long ago that
went for $2600.now would you say thats the market value for a 290?i
could have bought one for $350 b.i.n about 1 week before and a friend
picked one up for $300 in just as good of shape as the one on ebay.
so what is the market value?
by the way ill be looking forward to the mcintosh artical sounds
interesting

US $621.11

now that you have run this twice now on ebay, I think that the market has
concurred with me, that this is a very nice amp, but you are going to need
to throw its twin in with it if you want anything like $1300

ebay is the new world standard for appraisal of tube equipment (and most
every other collectible)

don't blame the messenger for the message

arizona cowboy,
fwiw i ran the ad once on ebay and once here.i really dont think that
running an item for auction once it's going to dertimine the market for
it.im sure your not that nieve to think that.
mabe ill list it again and se if it sells.also you keep telling me to
throw in a twin and it might get me my $1300.do you think that if i had
a twin for it i'd be trying to sell it?
i already have a set of gorgeous fairchild 260's and would love to find
a twin for the 275 then i'd be all set.mabe i should hang onto it then
if it,s only worth about $600 and hope that someday ill find one for
that price or perhaps i should email one of the bidders to see if he'd
part with one of the 3 that he already has for at that price
anyways im tired of beating this discussion into the ground.thank you
for your thoughts,

chris
