A question about resale value

[T-Rex]

So I have a question for all. I have the last remaining amp from when I was in business that I plan on selling. It is the RS model of my old amp company, GR amplifiers, and the amp is a quad of 6V6's coupled with a choice of preamps. I was saving this amp for me, but will probably keep the JV14 amp instead. My question to all is, which choice of the two do you think would sell easier:

a JCM 2203 style preamp with a switch to go either/or to a Bright high channel Plexi

or a Friedman BE preamp coupled to the power section?


Thanks for playing along.

I could be totally wrong, but maybe for a quicker sale go for the 2203?? Just because more of the great unwashed will know what it is, instead of going for the more nerdier players with a Friedman style preamp. I've looked at the JV14 a few times in the marketplace, but I have way too many amps right now.

This amp was built as a 2203/Plexi. I have the turretboard out for reworking and am adding a choke. The amp is tube rectified and cathode biased. Old gut shot below.

I second the motion for a 2203 style as I think it would appeal to more people and therefore likely sell faster.

Quadruple: 2203/Plexi!

I'm progressing to the "go back together stage". Turretboard is done other than some minor straightening's.

Quad of 6v6gt's, cathode biased, choke added, tube rectified. I modified my previous version of the "Neil Special". High or low input with a Marshall style 2203 preamp, plug into high and flip the mini switch and it's a high input 1959 Bright channel.
