Carver wasn't selling modded Cit IIs, he was promoting his latest tube amp design concepts that included the g1 clamp, true pentode operation and deep AB biasing. He kinda demonstrated these concepts by marking up the Cit II schematic with them and slyly inviting DIYers to have at it. This was around 2011-2013. At the same time he was offering very limited edition, hand built custom amps utilizing these same concepts on eBay of all places. Not much later he began producing a range of tube amps under the Carver brand with names like "Bob Carver Cherry", Bob Carver Black Magic" and so on. These amps appeared in the 2013 Music Direct catalog among other places. No relationship to the much earlier Silver Seven flagship tube amp that became the sonic basis/reference of his "Transfer Function" marketing campaign for a series of sand amps.
