Members Larrikin666 Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Triple Recs sell for $900-1300 in my experience. Did it come with a footswitch? What kind of shape is the tolex in? How clean is it inside? Those tubes are probably garbage. It can cost upwards of $600 to retube a Triple Rec depending on how crazy you like to get with tubes.

Members Larrikin666 Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Mesa tubes are alright. I've had great results with dougstubes.com though. He has kits set up for a bunch of different amps. He actually burns in the tubes before he ships them so you don't have to. Plus, he an all around awesome dude.
