Members woodsmandan Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Got lucky on saturday's garage sales hop. First I find an old Tokai TDS-1 distortion for 1$ (turns out it doesn't work), then I spot this amp: late 70's Traynor YGM-3 Guitar Mate, very clean. This thing has the best damn tremolo ever, good reverb and HUGE bottom end ! And it loves pedals ! I believe this is my best yard sale find ever...

Members Drifter182 Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 grrr, dont remind me of garage sales. Apparently the Saxaphone i passed up for $175 was a good deal that I missed on saturday. Oh well. Hope you enjoy the amp, I still got all sumer for a garage sale score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members turnitto11 Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Nice score. I'm currently loving my traynor. It's not old or vintage, it's one of the current ones, but it's still a great amp none the less. Kudos to Traynor for making great amps and very reasonable prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Drifter182 Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 It hurts me that things like this don't happen outside of Ermerica. you dont have stupid people in Europe that have yard sales and have a vintage combo amp out there that they dont know how much is worth? I don't believe that. Hell, you guys should be scoring the better amps (vox, hiwatt, orange, marshall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JPBenny Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hey Woodsmandan, Great score on the Traynor. I have the exact same amp I bought at Long & McQuade in Toronto where I worked in the late 90's. It had been sitting on the repair shelf for 2 years. The guy dropped off the face of the earth, so they gave it to me for the price of the original repair - $90. I just replaced the original Marsland speaker with an Eminence Cannabus Rex. What a difference! It's louder, more present, and handles the low end way better too. Thanks fir the HM-2 by the way. I'm enjoying it thoroughly!
