    B..B...But its a very rare piece - with all the valves! He wasn't even planning on selling it. It was just an unfortunate accident that could be our gain. Bfore he knew what was happening, BAM, it had been listed.

    I'm sure none of the original valves are missing!

    If anyone is that interested, there's info on Kelly amps here.

    Actually it has a decent size speaker with a big magnet, unlike those shitty Woolies amps. However the circuit seems to be built on perf board, and goodness knows what state the electrolytic caps will be in by now.

    If it's solid state, all the valves are missing.

    It also has two Chanels - No.1 and No.5 presumably. (Nazi sympathies not included.)

    He needs a new keyboard, that one clearly has a bounce on the 0 key.

    The caps look new-ish, leastways they don't appear original to me. If they haven't leaked or otherwise drifted then after the speaker and PT, they're probably the most valuable thing in there. :)

    Edited to add the smiley, as I sounded like I was having a dig at Keefy and not the amp which is what I meant!
