anyone seen/heard/own a polytone amp ?????

Keira-WitherKay

on the jazz site i frequent ....the peeps there can't get enough of the "polytone" amp and seem to be snapping them up like wildfire at excellent prices (excellent being low priced) yet in all my pawn show trawling i've yet to even see one....

and yes i know the models and history but wonder if any are floating around anywhere ...they renown for a fat clean tone ideal for jazz guitar ......

so anyone have one lying in the garage cos from what i can gather the most desirable are old 70's/80's ones and even the old polytone bass amps give fat warm jazz guitar tone yet i believe some newer ones have been made because of the cult status of these amps.......

so any lying around?
