$300.00 at local pawn shop.  I don't usually go prowling in pawn shops but I was really looking for a SS amp for my double neck non pedal steel.  Really looking for loud and clean.  The L9 was at the first shop I stopped at on Thursday of last week.  I came back to that pawn shop  later that day, after visiting others, and played through it.  Pretty clean amp and the compressor works. Did I mention LOUD.  As I was drivng away from the shop I hear on the radio that Les Paul died and I figured it had to be some kind of omen so I went back yesterday and bought it.  I figure I paid about $50.00 too much but what the hell it's only money.

New to the forum I am and the proud owner of Gibson Lab Series L9.  It still has the original 15" E-V.  Darn clean.  I got lucky at a pawn shop on the very day that Les Paul died.  Plugged in my Double 8 non pedal console steel and wow.
