Mesa studio 22+ How much?

[Thurgood]

An old friend of mine has a Mesa Stdio 22+ that he is willing to part with, it is in great shape, low serial No. (he got one of the first runs). I ahve played through it on many occasions and remember it fondly, read I loved the way it sounds. Just right for my style and I can always add another quality amp to my stable. The reason he is willing to sell is 1. we have been close friends for years (have bailed him out of legal troubles gratis on more than one occasion) 2. he also owns two Mark III combos, one in bubunga the other in flame maple!!. Seeing as we are friends I wish to offer a fair price. Probably needs new tubes also. Retubing power section is cheap approx 35.00 for good NOS El -84's. Any input would be welcome. I have looked around and think $400.00 woudl be reasonable but I just don't know. I woudl prefer 300.00 but thats prob too low, not to mention that he has no reason to sell other than my offer. THanks in advance.

I hate to double post but it seems that this amp may be too old or uncommon to be in general knowlege base. It may help me and my fellow viewers to think of this amp in its modern form, the DC-2. Hope that helps. Thanks

Its just not made anymore. I was gonna get one at one time, but it fell through. They are on eBay from time to time still. That would be a good place to get a general idea on how much to offer your friend.
