Full tube amp?

Back in high school, we used to dumpster dive at the factory because they'd throw out working parts that just didn't meet QC for whatever trivial reason.  Replaced a lot of speakers that way before they got security guards (although I occaionally had to patch little tears/holes in the cones from kicking around in the bin; the more amazing thing is that some weren't damaged at all).

Wow, cool!  It is amazing what manufacturers do.  Freebies as a kid were always great fun!

Oh yeah, I love the last two and first two are pretty nice, too.   I know the bass and speakers make a difference (assuming the recordings were field, not DI), but the tone is really what I've been looking for.  I got the Music Man tonight, I'll hook it up tomorrow and report!  BTW, it's in great shape, not abused at all, some faint discoloration on the chrome part and aging on the grill, but no mistreatment or even dings, etc.
