WTTF: Original VHT amp nameplate

[sosomething]

My early-90s Pittbull Classic was rebadged by the previous owner with the modern "FRYETTE" nameplate. For status reasons or something. I have no idea.

Problem is, the newer nameplates are not nearly as wide as the original VHT plates, which were glued on. The end result is that I have visible glue residue on either side of the current nameplate on the amp. Boo!

So, if you have an old VHT wide-style nameplate (pictured below) and would like to just trade me for my snazzy new modern FRYETTE screw-on plate, hit me up!

Also, if you're not into a trade, I'd be willing to buy your nameplate off you. Just throw me a reasonable price.

Here is the style of nameplate I am looking for. The amp pictured is actually the same as mine (but mine is way cleaner and in better shape).

Punch the dude who rebranded it in the face....

There's a couple older VHT's in mint shape at my local GC, being sold used for $1000. I can't imagine what the original owner took for them....probably $500.

I have a bunch of stuff I'd like to sell to raise some cash, but I just can't bear the thought of letting any of it go cheaper than I paid for it. And I usually pay low Craigslist prices for everything I get.

Whoever sold those must have needed cash immediately.

I'm with you on reselling. I try to make it my policy to never lose money on a deal.

I don't need to do "better than the other guy," I just try not to come out worse for the wear. If I can make a little extra money, I will, but market demand will dictate how much and getting that right is just a matter of timing.
