I bought one of those on a rainy Monday, December 1, 1969 at Leo's Music on Collage Ave. in Oakland. That happened to be John Francis' birthday.
The acoustic was a stunning system but difficult to hear in small indoor venues. Short on funds I was forced to sell it and replace it with the tubed Ampeg SVT. I immediately dreaded the SVT for many reasons but it was easy to hear in close proximity without deafening the audience. Selling it was clearly one of the most regretable things I'd done, and suddenly they were out of production.
This new, Made In The USA 360/361 was redesigned by Russ Alee with its original virtues and much more. It's a full $2K more than the discounted, and still very nice, made in Vietnam Ampeg SVT VR / 810 AV reissue. Have a look.
