Members Chrisjd Posted August 14, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 Depending on what year/rev it is, it's either a decent price or a great price. its a 1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taco2004 Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 Pretty good deal! Their prices have dropped here recently. I payed a little more for one a few years ago but they seem to be dropping. They sound so much better then the current rectos. I tried a new dual at my local dealer and it sounded horrible. My Road King sounds very different from the current line of dual rectos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kung-Fool Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 its a 1992 Well then, if it's a rev F it's pretty good price since they usually go for $1300-$1400. If it's a rev C or D it's awesome price because they usually go in upwards of $1500. I would buy it either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TRevMFB Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 i think it's just for looks.... i could be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RJofGreatness Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 well you are, cause that would not make sense to be worth more for looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TRevMFB Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 well you are, cause that would not make sense to be worth more for looks okay, then what's the difference between a black face dual 2 channel recto and a regular 2 channel dual recto? (besides the stated obvisous color difference and the rarity of the blackface.... what's the difference?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agent317 Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 How do you date these amps? I've never found anything that shows a serial number system... I want to know what year and revision mine is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Weathered Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 How do you date these amps? Well...you have to accept that EVERYONE else has had a ride, and you'll want to protect yourself. She's probably pretty dirty - even when she cleans up, it doesn't seem really like her personality.

Members agent317 Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 Nah... I ride the tubes raw and dirty. But it DOES burn... Man, I posted the same question on here a couple of months ago with the obligatory date-joke, but nobody answered. I thought I'd skip it this time. Thanks for picking up the slack.

Members RJofGreatness Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 then why pay more for a color option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kung-Fool Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 How do you date these amps? I've never found anything that shows a serial number system...I want to know what year and revision mine is... The serial #'s are sequential...meaning they are numbered in the order they were made. You can also pull the chassis and the date will be written on the inside and the rev will be on the PCB Board. If you tell me the serial # I can tell you what rev and approximate year it is.

Members Kung-Fool Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 then why pay more for a color option? Mostly misinformation and/or some people just like the way it looks I guess. You'd have to ask someone who paid more for one to be sure. I have the 28th Dual Recto made and I couldn't care less what color it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RJofGreatness Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 I have the 28th Dual Recto made and I couldn't care less what color it is. nice, so have you a/b ed yours with a later two channel that isnt part of the first 500? are the first 500 way better than a regular two channel, or is it just not enough to make someone seek it out if they arent too worried about AMAZING tone? if there is a huge difference, i may have to look into them, if not, i will just look around some more and see if i can find what i like...

Yep, I also have a 94' rev G racktifier. It's not a huge difference but it is noticeable. The first 500 were built with the Mark III OT and they definitely have a Mark flavor to the sound. They have a little bit tighter low end and the mid frequencies seem to be bumped a bit higher than on the later ones. They're not as compressed sounding and are more dynamic to the players touch. The cleans aren't as good. It really depends on what you like to say which one is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Owner, looks like it just came fresh from the factory. 2 sets of brand new tubes, cover, footswitch, manual.I'm very pleased to score this one, and got a killer deal.It's RF-1C, does that make it "C" tranny?
