I am always looking to buy single or collections of old valve amps by e.g. Marshall, Vox, Fender, Watkins and others as whether working or not. Condition is generally not an issue, as I will repair and service all amps before finding them new homes.

I can usually collect and undertake to clear collections or studios including amps, guitars, studio equipment and parts. I specialise in amps from the late 1950s to the mid 1970s but will also consider more recent amps, especially if they are parts of collections.

If you are unsure about the condition of an amplifier, or are aware that it has not been played for some years, my advice is NOT to plug it in to test it and (unless you are confident you know what you are doing) do not try to fix it yourself. Valve amps operate with very high voltages (often over 500v) that can be extremely dangerous. If they are powered on with failed or damaged components, this can do significant damage to parts such as transformers or even - in extreme cases - cause them to catch fire.
