I agree, the Navy Random Flair is hard to resist. Additionally, these early Ampegs are fantastic amps and eventually they will be up in value in much the same way that Gibsons are now. What most people don't realize yet though, is that these are on par with the Fender tweeds and better made than many of the old Gibsons. My amp tech gets Gibsons through his place and fills me in on what he sees. Some are great, but many are in his words, 'a big mess' with questionable engineering. His only criticism of these early Ampegs is the way they are grounded, but he says that the operating noise is not loud enough to open what would be a real can of worms.
