What do you guys think about this Mesa?

This is for sale near me. He's willing to haggle down from $800 but I don't know what I'm getting myself into.

Any Mesa aficionados that can fill me in without a serial number?

Looks to be a 2 channel Rev G (like a TOV). I think it's worth less than 800 for that condition

That does seem a little high for being in that condition. You can usually find Dual Recs in better shape for $800 or less on eBay. Can you play it before buying it?

$700 tops for that.

Solid rectifier. Revision G as previously stated.
The mixed power tubes scare me. That combination of tubes draws way more heater current than that amp expects. But Mesa has pretty stout transformers so it may be a non-issue.

If it was me, I would jump on it for $700, but $800 I think I'd just pass.

I would get it. Fair price, great amp

 

[maddnotez]

Well there is always this for $650 OBO Instead

Power tubes look to be the same . Mesa amps are fixed resistor bias but if someone throws a really hot quad in it the bias would be pretty hot but probably won't damage the amp. From the looks of it the amps been around the block usage wise and would prob benefit from a recap, and proper grade tubes for sure.
