There have been 2 for sale on Audiogon for awhile. One debuted at over $900 and is modded to the max. But it's like putting $100,000 in remodel to a $60,000 house on a street of $60,000 houses.
The other is $600 which is less than the delivered price of the kit with tubes.
Unless they're Bottlehead or Wellborne amp kits are a tough sell. But the so-so lower end of the Antique line sells immediately as does out and out junk like some un-named other far-eastern amps.
I can't see parting with mine; lot's of mods yet to be done and Push-Pull is way under-rated. Maybe if it was called 'double-ended'.....?

don't even think of that double-ended BS. have you been talking to sheep-Jute, a.k.a cheap-Jack? PP is underrated by some. PP was traditionally built under the squeeze out the watts pressure. SE came back when highest attention to quality was being paid the circuit design and parts selection. This and a few other things went to establish SE as the way to do things if you wanted the 'Best'. there is an underlying 'the grapes were sour' sort of attitude towards power from this group which makes me smile when speakers of less than 100dB 1W 1m are brought to a big listening event.... I stand with the PP gang. A bunch of folks who have heard some of my stuff might be moving in that direction as well.

Douglas
