Old Framus?

What do you all think? May snag but if someone beats me to it, fair game.

What is there to expect out of 'prototype'?

Can't help on amp but those middle two power tubes kind of look like SEDs, fwiw.

What does the seller mean by 'looks like a prototype'? He doesn't know? Does it have a serial #? Worth going to check out. Yes, those inner tubes look exactly like my SEDs.

It definitely looks like it has mojo.

 

[skullfxr]

There is no serial. As far as the prototype thing goes, I have no idea.

It's a bit sketchy in that regard. But I don't really know what to think about that. Just don't want it to turn up as someone else's stolen amp.

Something to consider: I know that the early Framus Cobras did not have bias test points. I think that goes the same for the Dragon but I'm not sure . That amp has the test points.

They go for around that price anyway, give or take.

 

[Snave]

Could just be a regular Dragon that's missing a serial and lettering. Not worth it, regardless.

Doubt it's 80's. The brand was dead from the late 70's to 1995.

I was questioning that too.

It's a definite pass on this one for me.

It has a RoHS sticker so the very earliest it would be is 2003.

Not sure about the prototype bit, but I think that’s about the right price. I used to own a Dragon years ago and really miss that thing.
