Nice, but the $245 shipping is a real show stopper $) =:o ;) (lol)

I wonder if the metal pins inserted into the "pegboard" are "hot" with high voltage... (???) =:o @=

Heck, I just mailed an amp in the good ol' US via UPS Brown that cost $61. That was an "ouch" moment.

Probably there's an included bag of insulated jumpers with the rubber all cracked. I doubt I'd hot swap. (lol)

Apparently, it can be powered with a choice of 220 or 127VAC, 50Hz, and 115VAC, 400 Hz. Which just happened to be commonly used in US military aircraft.

No, just a different view angle, that I found on a tube amp page on Facebook. (banana)
