BIG DAVE CAME THRU! Expertly packed! The amplifier works and sounds perfect! I honestly bought it for parts, as I have an identical amp. But this one doesn't need anything but playing. Snow storm delayed shipping, but he messaged me and let me know what was was going on. Excellent communication. THANK YOU DAVE FOR 5 STAR TRANSACTION !☆☆☆☆☆
