What kind of stuff do you play and what are your plans?

Also, does the concept of having a tube amp interest you at all?

If you have lots of dough, go for it. If you budget, get something suitable that will last for a while.

I can vouch for the longevity of these 80's era Peavey amps, but older is not always a good thing by itself. Your components can literally dry up over time.

I personally would recommend some kind of 15 watt tube amp. Fender, Vox, Traynor and many others make them.

That said, if you are running a pedal board and using amp sims, a solid state amp will me more trouble-free and arguably a better choice.

I'm not sure of the exchange from Cdn currency, but it looks like you could do better for your money.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
