nice amp, but that Buy it Now price is in dreamland (unless you get the
interest of one of those boobs that pays $1600 for set of speaker cables, in that brain-damaged crowd, your Buy it Now price is a bargain, I suppose, but then, not sure that any of them are intelligent enough to even know what a Fairchild 275 is) "Chris Fuller" wrote in message news:e69057504884e1d6d0f66ba6f42dfb9c.41557@mygate .mailgate.org... i finally got around and put the fairchild 275 up on ebay.check it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5727130027 -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

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 "Chris Fuller" wrote in message news:a9e4bbc7dcc36886d29cd6b8ffea0cda.41557@mygate .mailgate.org...

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.

Chris:
2600 does seem to me like a nutty price for a 290, tho' they are fine and pretty rare - someone must have wanted it pretty bad! I eBayed a pair of Marantz 5s for 2400, and they're in a different league altogether! I'd think the 290 would be similar in value to, say, an Eico HF-89...what do they bring nowadays? Maybe 1000? 1200? IMO, the Pilots went cheap - they are better than any McIntosh monoblock, except the MI-200, again IMHO, and they are far rarer. And Mc never made an amp with the sainted EL-34! Every deal is different, and you do see some insanity on eBay from time to time. It's far easier to peg values on items you see more of, so you can average them out. I'd say $350 for a working Scott 290 would be a helluva deal and I'd say hang on to the Fairchild, bide your time for another single, they ain't making em any more!
