I've been told the 500C is a very nice amp, especially once rebuilt. But paying premium dollar for a vintage amp and than in my case needing someone like Mike Samara to rebuild it, one ends up with a lot of money in the unit. There is a point in my opinion to just buy a 4-8 year old ARC, CJ, or Quicksilver. But if you can find such an amp at a great price and than have someone like Samara who knows what he is doing go through it, you can really have something that sounds fantastic. From the pics, that 500C does look very nice. I should have asked him if it had the original tubes in it.
