There is a shop here in Brighton who I'm sure will be able to give you a valuation, Mark.

http://www.theacousticmusicco.co.uk/index.php


They have a very good reputation but I mentioned Mando Hangout as it has a wider audience... and not retail


I hope Mark can find out all he can via as many routes as possible  Fez  - I only mentioned that shop because the owner's daughter and my daughter are friends, I've only been in there a couple of times as the guitars are far too beautiful and far too expensive, and therefore it's a bit depressing  Grin

Indeed Rory... the shop has a very good reputation in all respects so this was not a slight on them in any way. My comment was made on the basis that, if Mark's friend was looking to sell the mandolin, then he might get a better deal by dealing with a player rather than a seller.

Having said this, I agree... all options should be considered.

If you know the owners of TAMCO do they let you go in and lick the lovely, lovely shiny things ?  Grin

Thanks for your help guys. It is now confirmed as a 1926 Martin AK, valued at around £800 - £1000. My friend has decided to keep it and adapt his playing style to allow for his arthritic fingers on his left hand!

Have a look on eBay - they are very cheap new.

A mate had an old Vox AC30 in the 70s.  He got rid of it for a 12" square Roland Cube which were very Spandau Ballet and "cool".  Wonder how much the AC30 would be worth today - I'm guessing 50 times the price of a Roland Cube Smiley

I had an AC30 in the 70s. It used to blow several valves a week. Finally got rid of it in the 80s due to small house and impending child. I now have a Vox Valvetronix, which is not the same. The sad thing is, I do have room for an AC30 now, but I can't lift the damn thing.

For playing bass I have just bought a laney rb3 to use at rehearsals and small gigs, to replace the 100w peavey combo that i can hardly lift and has some noise issues and fading volume problems.

Like wise for guitar i bought a small Fender Fuse guitat combo 18 months ago to replace my aging marshal valvestate, which crackles and loses a channel regulary.  

Both probably cost less than repairing the old ones.  Just got to work out what to do with the old ones now.  Apparently they take up too much room and are not shelves. Grin

You'll regret it forever if you don't go for it Jules.  I couldn't be sure, but I can't see you losing money on it if the unthinkable happened, and you had to sell it on.

I'd regret it if it was cheaper.  Or if it had a white scratch plate instead of a gold one.  But it's still going to be about just shy of £1,400 with postage and customs, and I just don't feel confident enough in myself to throw caution to the wind today.

There'll be others.  660/12s aren't that rare!
