    Yeah stuff is out there. I "built" Ronno 20 or so years ago. At the time original Sprague bumblebees were well over $100 each IIRC.

    These days if you want something in particular it is quite likely you will buy something you don't get to play first. I've gotten several that way and been okay with all. You can prowl music stores but there ain't all that many any more and go ahead and find a '75 Yamaha SG2000. Lol. I would...

    Bought a 'damaged' Tele

    Looking for Class B tube preamplifier or amplifier, how many can you remember?

    Mic wars were a thing. Not tubes. There ain't but a couple and they're flavors.
