Orange are generally good valve amps with a definite character/tone that you may or may not really like- so you do need to try it first. If you do like don't forget that you may need to replace the tubes depending on when they were lasted changed and how much use the amp has had.

I was never especially fond of Orange myself but I'd say you got a fair deal, my guess is that you'd need to take it for service (new tubes etc). If it was mint it would be more expensive.
I saw an orange in an old Sabbath Video from the early 70's, maybe it's this very same model Never bothered to check it up what model that was So, I'd think it's worth the money even if needs service but if that's the case probaby the seller can cut off the price a bit even. Turn all knobs and listen for wierd noices. With 120W and such an old amp you should really test it on the volumes you'll be playing. No doubt it's loud, and no doubt it will sound great when loud, but how does it sound at bedroom levels, if that's what you'll be doing. -------------------- My bands homepage

I tried to remove the paint, but the paint the guy used destroyed the vynal so im removing it and gonna try get new ones from Orange themselves Good call! I really don't understand what that guy who painted it black was thinking. I don't know how to paint an amp but ask Orange if you need to put primer first.
