Fuck, that's enough to cover a proper replacement PT, no?

Wouldn't really be the same price for me, but see it also needs power tubes too or some sort of work, it crackles after about 10 minutes of playing.

I don't want to fuck with it. I just bought it and paid a shit load of money, I want a trouble free amp.

It would be about $120 US for the PT, plus about $35 US to ship it. Duty if shipped by Canada Post, i could get lucky and be free, or around $26 CAD, if by UPS or Fedex, add around $25 CAD more.

Plus the extra holes in the chassis right? Agree it seems not worth keeping. :(

GAS can be cruel sometimes. Sounds like the right call to me though.

Mynameisjonas has been rocking a ceriatone for a decade, he just posted the other day. He'd be a good one to ask about those. All I know is that shipping a tube amp from Malaysia has gotta suck.
Well, I ended up getting a Ceriatone Hiwatt clone. I didn't realize that these were actually wired with the mil spec wiring technique as well. :blush:

I bought the assembled chassis minus the PT, OT, tubes and head cabinet... Should be here in about 4 weeks.

I just looked up mynameisjonas Ceriatone thread and i even commented on how pretty the wiring was.

The thread is like 10 years old though, so im allowed to have forgotten.. :freako:

Hey, cool. It's a while to wait in this day and age, but I'm sure it'll be well worth it. I'm glad you're getting something that you can be certain is skookum. Life's too short for that other shit.

Oh hell yes.

That's some fastidious wiring. That was really satisfying to look at. :?

Wow, that looks incredible, Ed! Bet it sounds just as good as it looks, too. That wiring is ridiculous. Yikes. :o

Yeah, it's sad that it's a rarity to see something built to that high of a standard, but that really is some beautiful work in there!
