Ok, I think I've posted something before on a Fender Super Twin amp I got from a buddy of mine. I was looking to retube it and I was having a hard time because it has 6 6L6GC tubes and they needed to be matched. I checked at a few local music stores and NOBODY carried them in 6's. They could order them but it was close to $50 per pair!!!! and that would have been without the others that are in there which are:
3 12AX7's
1 12AT
1 12AU

Not only did they not know that they were in there... they were amazed at just how many tubes this monster has. The more popular amp is a Fender Super Twin Reverb but this one puts out about 180 watts at around 300 rms... yep, it's LOUD!

So the reason for the post: Not only did Bob know the amp, but he had the tubes in stock and I got ALL of them for $117 signed sealed and delivered!!! It was great dealing with him too... it's nice to be able to go right "to the man" and get what you need. Bob really knows his stuff, so if anyone needs tubes, I highly recommend dealing with www.eurotubes.com And a big thanks to PRSPLAYA on the hookup with eurotubes.

They should be at my doorstep today, I'm sending it to the ampdoctor to bias them and I'll have it back and running on Monday. I'll take a few pics and share them if anyone is interested...

thanks!!!
