I am helping a widow with estate sale. I picked up 2 Webbs yesterday Serial # 1108 and 862 and have them in Nashville for local sale only. Due to financial situation my heart is to help her get much needed funds so, respectfully no trades or low balls. The burgundy is as clean as I've ever seen. There is a receipt from one of them but honestly not sure which one. They sound great. I would likely have the caps check just because I usually do. They are mounted on plywood with wheels. With the 15" JBLs they are heavy amps, but if you love Webbs you should check them out. The black one is not as immaculate and could use a fabric tolex refresh if you're into ultra cosmetics. The burgundy one looks like it's never been out of the house. I just found out from Jim Hawkins that the amps were used by Garland Nash who they played in a band with.
You may call me at 615-870-9968 to discuss. Just started trying to assess value so feel free to add a comment to assist in that area. Text and emails aren't my preference. I will not ship as they are simply too heavy. I may be willing to meet you halfway depending on where you live. I can do a deposit on Paypal but cash for balance on delivery. Peace and blessings.

Kevin. Not sure. Not familiar with EV. Wasn't sure if label was missing on back. The black one actually sounds a bit warmer and less "bell like" than the Red. They are both great and with the EQ controls available I have to believe the sound options are many. I personally have usually used tube amps but very impressed. I guess the downside is the weight, but you could put an Eminence in and reduce the weight significantly. I play Emmons with a Telonics pickup and the sound is sweet.
I own #825 - looks just like the red one. I bought it new at Webb Music in Antioch, CA, in the summer of 1978. It was state of the art at the time. Made for pedal steel. Those original JBL 4 ohm speakers are wonderful.
