I am still playing mine and loving it. It has a 10 and 12 inch speaker.
They were pretty pricey at the time, arount $1500, so if you can get it cheap, snap it up. The only problem I have had was with the rectifier tube, which i had replaced.
I put in some lower gain preamp tubes and it sounds wonderful. I get constant comments from people wanting to know what it is.
If the price is real high, I'd get something else as your main amp, though. Warantee, spare parts, service support...etc.
I don't know anyone else that has one.
