That really is the ugliest amp i've ever seen. Could it be saved?

Of course it could be saved, but why compromise the comfort factor?

What a RIDICULOUS price, though!!!

Well, almost any electronic device can be repaired, as long as you can get parts. It looks like most of the electronics parts are there, so it's just a matter of figuring out what is broken and needs to be replaced. For most amps, the parts are pretty standard and there are replacements available.

But, you have to add the repair cost to the ridiculously high cost of buying this and decide if it's really worth bothering with...

Too spendy for a broken, burlap sack covered amp. Would be super cool at a reasonable price.

Yep, you play your guitar though it and put your feet up on it at the same time.
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS! :-)
