Here is your chance to buy, for a mere $4800, what may arguably be the ugliest contraption ever to carry the Dumont name. ;) ;) :shock:

It's an ugly price, that's for sure.

"Restored by Jimmy O". Sounds like a bookie !

And Greg, I think the Guild similar upright colonial cabinet stuff is
uglier than this Dumont, if I had to choose.

JImmy O's stuff is always very expensive and I'm not sure why he thinks his stuff is worth that kind of money. He also has a very unique way of replacing the electrolytics. I have seen worse looking cabinets, but with the looks of the amp it should sound great.

Dumont equipment was usually done in good taste, if a tad stodgy. I think this thing is just nasty. ;) ;)

Mr. Mogul, I never thought about Guild. Some of their stuff was kinda bizarre for sure. ;)

I guess I need to Google Jimmy O. Sounds like a Mafia hit man.... ;)
