The brown on the roasted maple/rosewood looks really nice.
The 30th anniv. would look horrible if it did not have the colored headstock.
It all depends.
I used to own vintage amplifiers. Never again. Give me the latest and greatest.
Dave, you need to go see the Hobbit. The scene about eating the greens is about you.

good observations, I did't notice the location dif...I did think that the speakerjob wasn't done as well as it could.
I'd use an old JBL , or maybe a peavey black widow on the cheap. and if there is any over excursion ( think maybe that might happen with 50+ watts? ) it won't be great slamming against the baffle...for the sound or the speaker.
Every once in a while you see a beefed up late 60's silverface on ebay...the ones that Randall Smith souped up.
Even those usually don't break 1000 at auction end.
thx

I actually remember programming on those old Tandy's in middle school (definitely a much lower end model), I can't say I've ever had the chance to use a tube based computer, though I hear they are warmer and more musical than a solid state
