Questions about Traynor YGM-3 Guitar Mate circa 1970.

[wasteofo2]

I've heard very good things about old Traynors from the 70s, though usually the YCV series, and I've never heard of a YGM-3. I was recently browsing the website of a local shop which sells and buys used gear, and they have one in. Good stuff goes quickly from this store, but it's rather far away from me and I have some plans for tommorow. Is it worth me driving the 30 minutes and cancelling/rescedueling my plans to try this out, or is this amp known to be crap?

I have a YBA1 that is simply astounding. I paid 260.00 changed the volume pot values as well as added a cap to bypass V2 for more gain and clipped the cap off of the bright volume. The thing gives you chills when you fire it up. It is essientially the same amp as a 60s Plexi but the bigger transformers give it a bit more bottom. I have no hands on with the YGM 3 http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~dace/vb/models.html
but this has a bunch of info. Those amps are bullet proof, they are among the most rugged and reliable amps ever made. Is it the combo?

Yeah, it's a combo, 25 watt 1x12. The shop isn't open on sundays and I can't make it there today, so I got it reserved until monday, I have high hopes about this amp.
