I recently found one of those reissued Champion 600's for only $75 and it's in brand new condition, even smells new.
Also got a brand new 20' cable (nice one) with the deal as well.
These little guys make a reasonably decent practice amp, I cant get the harmonics that I can get with my MKIII Boogie, but then again that's not really a fair comparison.
On the other hand, I can now get a really nice velvety power tube break up without making my ears bleed, and the cops showing up.
I had plans to turn it into a PtP 5E1 wide panel tweed, but I think I'll keep it as is with some NOS tubes and call it good.

| I paid $114 Musicians Friend new. Great sound but had to try a 12. Got a 4ohm blue marvel which came out of a N'ville 112. It sounds better. |

| I have one of those and it is really a joy to goof around with, but it has a constant hum that I have never been able to figure out. I have a Blues Jr that does the same thing. It doesn't make it unusable but it's more of a nuisance. Cool amp though. |

| It might be external cause mine is quiet. Try a clean circuit or another location. My 6v6 went bad and it went blue and had a hum. |

| I picked one up cheap; put the Mercury Magnetics upgrade kit in and a NOS Groove Tube tube in it and play harmonica through it. |

| I play a lot thru mine at home and use it to test tubes too. Right now it has a 6l6 in it and it's going thru a 12" with 4 ohms. |
