I put up a few things I had laying around on craigslist over the weekend. One was a Mod102 amp that I built a few months ago and the other was a Plexi build that was basically a mojotone 2204 reworked into a Superlead spec. The plexi build wasnt functional but the tubes were getting proper power and it powered on with no noise. Probably an easy fix but I am focusing on a couple other projects and wanted to free up some space. So I posted it on craigslist not thinking anyone would buy either one especially the non working Marshall kit. Someone offered to buy the mod102 then they ended up buying the Marshall kit build instead then as soon as I got home I had an email from Jerry from FJA wanting to purchase it. I really wish I could have sold it to him so I could meet him and possibly have a source for mod work locally. Anyway he said he is hoping to start back up this Summer. A bit later last night someone bought the Mod102 amp off me. I've had other stuff of higher quality listed for months with no bites but two things I didnt think would sell sold within 8 hours.

Today I got to work and I had a Ceriatone 2204 without the transformers and a classic tone choke waiting for me at work. Hoping to get them installed tomorrow. Then next week I have a V2 Caldera kit showing up mid week. John has been awesome to work with and I cant wait to hear how this one sounds. I've already finished the main PCB board. The documentation I've gotten so far has been top notch and much better detail than mojotone or valvestorm. I'm very much a noob at doing builds but I feel pretty confident thanks to his documentation and support. At anyrate Im pretty excited for the next week or so. Since being down to one amp lately Im looking forward to having some variety.

IIRC...you're in NC? Or I'm old and confused.

 

[ClintN667]

Yeah I'm in Charlotte.

 

[MrDowntown]

Yea ok...
....IIRC... a couple/few years ago Jerry commented, on here, he was hanging it up...he was having personal struggles, and had been flooded/storm damaged (maybe) at his place... either way he mentioned maybe starting up again, one day...but moving south to do so...and I swear I think I remember him saying he was thinking of NC. My brain is old, and tired and I could be just dreaming all is shit lol.

Cool that he contacted you either way. But if he's in NC, that's like 3 killer amp guys in NC, that I know of (Splawn and Germino). There maybe some others but they're the most commercial, known, names.

yeah Splawn is in my hometown of Dallas. Its about 20 minutes from Charlotte. I didnt know Gernimo but seems like I've seen a lot of them at a boutique guitar store locally.
