Stuff that can be sold for good money still..but if it takes up too much room or "looks too old" it gets canned. That's where we step in.

Really? I thought tube amps would almost never get canned because it seems they're considered the holy grail of electronics.

My amp isn't tubed, but it isn't as recent as the 80s either.
