Those old things are starting to attract some serious money these days!

Interesting. Maybe it's time to reopen the shop for an "Anniversary Edition" or something. Take advantage of the guys who won't do modellers.

I still have the tooling for the eyelet boards...  But I think such things would deserve a better chassis.  Probably a better cabinet as well. 

Actually if I really wanted to re-enter that market in a big way, I'd first buy up a brand name that had some kind of traction back in the day.  Then I'd focus on sales and marketing and leave building the things to others.  Sounds like a drag actually, so never mind.  People will just have to make do with their Matchlesses and TopHats and what have you.

Yeah, it's not like there's any shortage of vintage/boutique amp builders out there.

Very cool.  I've got a few floating out there. I wish I could get my hands on the first one I sold. I wonder where it is and what's become of it. Depressing!
