Yeah, $250 is the real price. This one would have to be spectacular. I used to have twelve TR35B's (for real). The giant stacked 'cube' made for a nice conversation piece at my shop. One at a time they found new homes.

If you get it though, you'll love it!

Kenny (or to whom),

I do have an RB75 for sale that is not working (power amp problems). It's not in the best cosmetic shape either, but it's all there except the handle. $100 as is. I never seem to get around to my own projects.

Latest Groovy Use of a TR120B: Used as an acoustic guitar amp (by me) on mini-tour w/DiNizio last week. (Would have used the TR35B, but the 120 has a piezo tweeter.) Sounded rich and full. :)

Hi Davide--

Yes you certainly can attach an extension cab, 4 ohms or higher. I forget though if it cuts out the internal speaker. No, well wait, okay, I'm not sure so give it a try and let me know. Thanks.

Hey, Kenny--

Great post! More forumites should share their Rick amp experiences. As we know, the underappreciated Rickenbacker amps have an abundance of character and charisma, the 'cubes' being exceptionally useful.

TS - I tried to attach a pic of my 700C MB in your PM, but couldn't, so here's a better shot, since you asked. :)

Can't be more than a couple of those around, Kenny. 8)
I ordered one from The Music Zoo years ago but it never appeared. I wonder if I gave them a deposit? :roll:
