Is the Traynor YGM-3 a good guitar amp?

Question

It's from the '70s, and comes with 3 preamp tubes and 2 power amp tubes. They are vintage Phillip tubes. I play mostly rock, indie, and every once in a while some distorted stuff. Traynor amps are Canadian made, and I'm thinking due to the age, it will have a good classic tone. I think it will also be very collectible. The person is selling it for $400, but it is negotiable. They put and Eminence speaker in it, but are also giving me the standard Marsland one as well. Is this a good investment, both for the music aspect as well as resale.

Answer 1

Ask if you can plug your guitar in and take it for a spin. If you think it sounds good and you like the tone, then you're set man! Good Luck!

Answer 2

I don't think I'd pay $400 for it......maybe $270.  It is a classic, but remember this, you can buy a brand new Crate, Peavey, Marshall, or a Fender with $400.  

make sure there is nothing burnt out in that Traynor amp if you buy it.  They make great amps, and have been around forever.  Steve Miller Band used them .
