It looks like Allen Funt had it at some point.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

An Allman fan with a large diposable income needed a big tax deduction. That price is beyond ridiculous.

$375 shipping? I've shipped motorcycles across the country for less.

on ebay they must figure if you pay an insane amount for something you will do like wise with shipping. this is a pattern that shows up often.

Insurance on shipping something supposedly worth 11k is expensive.  If you bought something that was actually worth that you MIGHT want to insure it.  If you were insane enough to buy the amp for the asking price what's an extra $375?

Wow, a $6000 price drop. And he still hopes that the buyer will let the museum display it.

I could certainly see an ABB fan paying more than market value for this. Nowhere remotely near $11,500 though. No one's going to pay that kind of premium just to help pay the medical expenses of an unnamed former crew member.

Maybe when it gets down to $2000 someone will buy it.  That would buy a couple of tongue depressors and a flu shot.

That's the big no-no right there. Besides, if it's already near "the museum," why the outrageous shipping charge?

 Since my memory was dimmed by the Bali Hi, I don't remember what amp Berry brought, I vaguely remember it to be a Sunn rig.


There is a pic in that EBAY listing of Lamar Williams playing that head thru a couple of crazy rare SUNN Orion Series 2x15 cabs. I have a pic of Berry using them as well.

That was the SUNN cabs with the b&w striped grills that The Who used to record the Magic Bus album....but they blew up a truckload of them during the sessions....SUNN realized there was a design flaw and shit-canned the entire Orion Series and recalled whatever was out in stores.

VERY rare. I collected SUNN for ages and owned a mountain of SUNN gear and actually never saw ANY of the large Orion cabs in person. I had one Orion combo amp.

The series was designed sort of like early Acoustic amps....pre-amp contro heads with the power amp in the speaker bottoms. When The Who blew up tons of them, SUNN realized that when the power amp got hot when cranked, vibrations in the speaker cab caused componant int eh solid state amp to fail in virtually ALL the amps.
